Inlay work in the form of vases and flowers as well as musical attributes are recurring motifs in Caumont's furniture, which he preferred to use in combination with colorful fruitwoods. The decorative motifs were always hot-sand shaded, and refined with mother-of-pearl or ivory inlays, as seen in the item on offer. (Pierre Kjellberg: Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIe Siècle, Paris 1989, p. 169.)
