Details

French cabinetmaker, active in Paris, a specialist in floral marquetry. He came from a very modest family. Early in his career he worked with the merchant-cabinetmaker Pierre Migeon who provided furniture with floral inlays or varnish the way of Chinese lacquer. He became master cabinetmaker in 1761 and opened his own store in 1772. Later he worked together with Topino, Denizot or Gilbert; sometimes a double stamp confirms collaboration. //
