Lot Essay

Gérard Péridiez, maítre in 1761.

Gérard Péridiez originally worked as an independent supplier for merchants such a Léonard Boudin, Louis Noël Malle and probably Pierre Migeon. Péridiez did open his own shop, but due to a fire in 1770 was forced to close it, however he continued his production in the years preceding the revolution. A coiffeuse of identical form, but lacking similar mounts was sold anonymously at Drouot on 8 December, 1975, lot 11.
