Designed in the Louis XIV 'antique' manner developed by André-Charles Boulle and Jean Bérain, this armoire can be firmly attributed to the work of the ébéniste Nicolas Sageot, whose oeuvre is discussed by P. Grand in 'Le Mobilier Boulle et les ateliers de l'epoque', L'Estampille L'Objet d'Art, February 1993, pp. 48 - 70. An almost identical armoire, stamped by Nicolas Sageot, was sold at Christie's, London, 9 June 2011, lot 81 (£133,250).
