From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
Charles Chevallier was the younger brother of the cabinetmaker Jean Mathieu Chevallier (1694-1768), whose work is better known. Charles Chevallier, however, practiced in both the rococo and neo-classical styles with floral and geometric marquetry and veneers, and Asian lacquer panels. This bureau plat , or desk, is one of his more restrained designs in the rococo style with kingwood veneer and gilded bronze mounts. France, Europe
