This magnificent bureau bookcase, with exotically – figured walnut enriched with fine brass work is attributed to Peter Miller of the Savoy, Strand. The signature of this master cabinet maker of George I’s reign features on a related bureau - cabinet, together with the date 1724 and a Spanish inscription, which indicates that, like his celebrated contemporary, Giles Grendy (d. 1780), he was involved in the export of cabinet-furniture to Europe. Apart from the superb quality of the mottled-marble walnut veneers, both cabinets together with a cabinet sold at Christies 13th November 1997 Lot 160 are triple sectioned with the same patterned carrying-handles for ease of transport and the same ring drop handles. The interior of the middle section is also nearly identical to the Christies bureau. Another cabinet inscribed by Peter Miller is illustrated in Early Georgian Furniture 1715 – 1740 by Adam Bowett page 67 plate 2.31. This piece has a similar broken front in the lower section, is built in three sections and also stands on six large bun feet.
