Catalogue Note
Une bibliothèque identique a été vendue très récemment par Christie's à Paris, le 16 décembre 2008, lot 127.
Cette bibliothèque peut fermement être attribuée à Charles Cressent. Alexandre Pradère répertorie cinq bibliothèques de ce modèle. L'une faisait partie de la collection Werner à Lutton Hoo, deux autres sont aujourd'hui conservées à l'hôtel de La Vaupalière à Paris. Celle présentée constitue donc le sixième exemplaire connu.
Charles Bernard Provost (1706-1786), reçu maître en 1737, intervint également sur ce meuble en qualité de restaurateur.
