Transformed by Guillaume Benneman from Joseph Stockel chests of drawers, the originals of these two chests of drawers (the porcelain medallions) arrived just in time for the autumn stay of 1786, the last stay of the Marie-Antoinette in Fontainebleau, and they were then installed in the large Salon des jeux of the queen. Today they are kept in the Fontainebleau castle.
