Although more of a specialist in producing small pieces of furniture and objects, it was the joiner, Diehl, who produced this imposing medal cabinet, created for the Universal Exhibition of 1867. The design of its form, marquetry and bronzes were entrusted to Brandely, and the sculpture to Frémiet, while Diehl put all his skill into the cedar and walnut veneers, and the marquetry decoration.Attracting much attention during the Exhibition, observers found it difficult to pinpoint the style of this medal cabinet.
