It is topped with gray marble from the quarries of Sainte Anne, with grooves and projections which follow the lines of the chest of drawers.

Fidelys Schey was made master on February 5, 1777. Born in the Duchy of Baden, this prolific cabinetmaker, despite the relative brevity of his career (he died on July 28, 1788), established himself on rue de Faubourg Saint-Antoine and opened, near from his workshop, a sales store that he entrusts to his wife. Its production includes Transition furniture and especially Louis XVI. We know that in 1786 he supplied gaming tables for the Château de Fontainebleau.
