About this work
German-born Matthijs Horrix was the leading cabinet-maker in The Hague and the preferred purveyor of furniture to the stadtholder’s court. He specialized in furniture with marquetry decoration in the French style, and even named his shop in The Hague In de commode van Parijs (In the commode of Paris).
