Pascal Coigniard maître in 1777.

Pascal Coigniard was based near the Hospice des Quinze-Vingt, in the Rue des Charenton, where he is still mentioned in 1791. His documented oeuvre is not very substantial, but demonstrates his preference for restrained and elegant items of furniture, which are usually veneered with mahogany or tulipwood. (P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIe Siècle, Paris, 1989, p.184)
