Lot Essay

Jean-Baptiste Lebas, maître in 1756.
Lebas produced chairs throughout the Louis XV and Louis XVI periods, counting the comtesse du Barry and the comte d'Artois among his patrons. His sons Barthélemy and Jean-Jacques both became maîtres-ébénistes and worked with their father in Paris in their studio on rue de Cléry.
