Meist wurden sie mit massiv furnierten Marmorplatten hergestellt, eine besondere Technik bei der ein harmonisches und gespiegeltes Bild erzielt werden konnte. Darüberhinaus bestechen die fein ziselierten und feuervergoldeten Beschläge in Bronze. Dass Rom im 18. Jahrhundert nicht nur ein Zentrum des Luxus-Möbelbaus war,sondern auch ganz hervorragende Bronziers aufzuweisen hatte, das zeigen in eindrücklichster Weise die Beschläge unserer Kommode, die fein, wie von einem Goldschmied bearbeitet, die Schauseiten der Möbels zieren.

Dezember 2009, lot 299Auktion Sotheby's Paris, Mme. Djahanguir Riahi - Les œuvres que j’ai aimées, 6. Juli 2017, Lot 105Die Verwendung von teuren Sèvres-Porzellanplatten an französischen Möbeln kann mit der wachsenden Bedeutung der Rolle der marchands-merciers im 18. Jahrhundert gesehen werden. Diese von Diderot als "Händler von allem, Hersteller von nichts" bezeichneten Unternehmer, die zugleich Designer und Dekorateure waren, fungierten als Bindeglied zwischen wohlhabenden Kunden und den besten Ebenisten. Sie waren für die Dekoration der schönsten Pariser Wohnhäuser aber auch dem internationalen Adel verantwortlich, bestimmten die Mode und wurden selbst zu den größten Kunden der Porzellanmanufakturen wie der von Sèvres, indem sie Porzellanplatten in Möbel integrierten. Thomas-Joachim Hebert, Simon Poirier und Dominique Daguerre gehörten zu den bekanntesten Marchands-Merciers. Daguerre war es, der Weisweiler am meisten in Anspruch nahm und ihn mit der Anfertigung von Möbeln mit Porzellanplaketten beauftragte, wie z. B. ein vergleichbares Modell wie dieses Kabinett im Palast von Pawlowsk.
