Lot Essay

Louis Delanois, maître in 1761.
With its 'accôtoirs en coup de fouet' and forme violonnée, this bergère relates closely to several examples illustrated by S. Eriksen in Louis Delanois, menuisier en sièges (1731-1792), Paris, 1968, Pls. VII and XVIII.
Delanois's famed patrons included the Comte d'Artois (future Charles X, King of France between 1824-1830), the prince de Condé, and King Stanislas II of Poland, as well as marchands-merciers, with the majority of these commissions having been recorded in the menuisier's Livre des Ouvrages et Fournitures de Meubles faits à crédit, (1761-1777), now in the Paris city Archives.
