Its very beautiful 18th century lock works perfectly (revised by a locksmith specializing in old locksmiths).

Gilles JOUBERT (1689 - 1775)
The brilliant career of Joubert, succeeds Oeben and precedes Riesener in the very important office of cabinetmaker of the King.
A prolific craftsman, Gilles Joubert was the first furniture supplier to the French royal household of Louis XV for more than twenty-five years, delivering over four thousand pieces ranging from simple bidets to richly decorated desks and tables.
He began to supply furniture to the Royal Furniture Guard in 1748, but it was not until the age of 74 that he received the title of cabinetmaker from the king.
Joubert's order volume was so large that he often subcontracted work to other cabinet makers in order to meet demand. Between 1763 and 1773 he was particularly busy delivering around 2,200 court pieces, including forty-four desks, over five hundred chests of drawers, over one thousand small tables and five hundred bidets.
Much of Joubert's furniture was produced before the guild made it compulsory for makers to stamp their furniture, while most of his later work was produced for the Court and therefore was exempt from this rule.
