Catalogue Note

Comparative Literature:
Torsten Sylven, Mästarnas Möbler, Stockholmsarbeten 1700-1850, Stockholm, 1996, p. 382.

A very similar cabinet signed by Öman, with the same triangular pediment, raised oval and square top above a  bowed door flanked by columns, is illustrated by Sylven, op. cit., p. 382.

The mark SEAST is a guild stamp for the period 1780 until 1810.
