Lot Essay

This table à écrire can confidently be attributed to Jean-Pierre Dusautoy (maître in 1751) of the rue de Charonne. Inspired by the oeuvre of his contemporary, Roger Vandercruse, dit Lacroix, Dusautoy is recorded as having worked for the tapissier Bonnemain, as well as for the marchand-ébéniste Nicolas Lannuier. Related tables by Dusautoy include that illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIe Siècle, Paris, 1989, p.292, as well as those sold anonymously in these Rooms, 14 June 1990, lot 105 and 13 June 1991, lot 83.
