Catalogue Note
Un meuble comparable dans sa structure, présentant des dimensions différentes mais des caractéristiques similaires (moulurations, plinthe) est estampillé de Jean-François Leleu (vente Piasa, le 25 juin 2008, lot 169). Ce meuble plus simple avait ses montants lisses (au lieu de cannelures rudentées) et ne possédait pas de galerie.
