This was first advertised in Holland by Dutch cabinet maker Andries Bongen (1732-1792) in December 1766. French neo-classical furniture by ébénistes such as Charles Topino, maître in 1773, who inlaid furniture with marqetry panels of vases and vessels popularised by designs from Vases Nouveau published by Maurice Jacques (1712-1784), was all the rage in France, England and Holland. In particular, the 1771 ban on the importation of French furniture into the Netherlands created a thriving market in which Dutch cabinet makers could create pieces in the French taste. Alongside Andries Bongen, other important Dutch makers included Arnoldus Gerritsen and Joan Lobst Swenebart. (R.J.
