For a very similar pair of appliques, please see Christie's New York, 16th April 2002, lot 36. The design would seem to draw its inspiration from the work of Andre Charles Boulle in "Nouveaux desseins de meubles et ouvrages de bronze et de marqueterie". A pair of comparable but later design are held in the Wrightsman Collection, Metropolitan Museum, New York, illustrated p, 404, No. 217 A & B.
