Jean-Baptiste Boulard, maître in 1755.
A related suite of chaises à la Reine, supplied by Boulard on 12 August 1786 for the Salon des Jeux at Fontainebleau, sheds fascinating light on the complex, closely intertwined workings of the menuisiers. Although assembled by Boulard, he actually passed the commission on to the carver Jean Hauré, who himself sub-contracted the carving to Nicolas-François Valois and Lambert Charny. Gilded by Juliac, Guintrange and Chatard and upholstered by the tapissier Capin, the suite of '30 chaises, 6 voyeuses and 1 écran was delivered before September 1787 at a cost of 2273 livres' (B.G.B. Pallot, Furniture Collections in the Louvre, Dijon, 1993, no.54, pp.154-5).
