The marquetry of this chest of drawers corresponds, both in composition and use of motifs, to the style of Grenoble cabinetmaker Thomas Hache (1664-1747). It features a similar compartmentalization of the top and the same type of framing, as well as very similar decorative elements such as the palmettes, the simulated gadroon motif above the flower basket and the canopy pattern adorning the sides. As the shape of this chest of drawers with its very wide uprights has not yet been recorded in Hache's work, this chest of drawers, if it proved to be Hache's work, would constitute a piece of furniture with an unprecedented architecture.
