拍品专文

The idiosyncratic use of fruitwood and distinctive use of pieds de biche feet typifies the distinctive oeuvre of Jean-François Hache (1730-96), the best known of the celebrated family of cabinet-makers established in Grenoble since the end of the 17th Century. The fourth of the twelve children of Pierre Hache, he set up his own business around 1754, producing a wide variety of both domestic and luxury furniture, often employing distinctive local woods.

A closely related table à jeu and a small side table by Jean-François Hache, both with similarly shaped friezes and hoof feet are illustrated in R. Fonvielle, La Dynastie des Hache, Grenoble, 1974, p. 34 and 41.
