Lot Essay

The form and ornament of these chaises and the following canapé is closely related to the oeuvre of the Cressons
a family of Menuisiers operating from premises in the rue de Cléry, Paris. The first member of the dynasty to become maître was Charles Cresson in 1720; the last being his great nephew Nicolas Michel Cresson in 1770 (Pierre Kjellberg, Le Mobillier Français du XVIII Siècle, Paris, 2002, pp. 230-241).
