An unusually fine William and Mary burled elm, fruitwood and walnut seaweed marquetry chest, attributed to Gerrit Jensen.  

Gerrit Jensen (fl. 1667-1715) was one of the finest cabinet makers in the early 18th century and was re-appointed 'Cabbinet maker in Ordinary' to the Crown in 1689; a number of his pieces survive in the Royal Collection.  His name is closely linked to some of the best marquetry pieces of the period and  are marked by the use of the finest materials and  superlative workmanship.  The top marquetry panel of this chest centers a crown, a strong indication that it was made by Jensen during his Royal Appointment for William III or Queen Anne.     Ref.
