This model is typical of that of Canabas (1715-1717), who became a master in 1766.
Its distinctive feature lies in the curved rear section, which reveals the two bottle holders, like niches.

A very similar model can be found in the highly acclaimed "18th-Century French Furniture" by Pierre Kjellberg, p. 164.
