Lot Essay

Jean-Baptiste Tilliard (1686-1766), maître in 1717, menuisier du Garde-Meuble du Roi from 1728 and Jacques-Jean-Baptiste Tilliard (1723-1798), maître in 1752, menuisier du Garde-Meuble du Roi from 1766.

THE TILLIARD DYNASTY

Jean-Baptiste Tilliard was one of the pre-eminent menuisiers of his day. He worked in conjunction with his brother Nicolas (until 1750) and from 1752 with his son Jean-Baptiste II, all three using the same stamp. He received regular Royal commissions as well as from a large number of distinguished clients. Jean-Baptiste II worked under his father's direction until 1766, probably dealing with boiseries and room decoration.
