Léonard Boudin, maître in 1761.
Leonard Boudin established himself in the early 1770s in the Clôtre Saint Germain l'Auxerrois, close to the Louvre and his fellow ébènistes in the rue Saint Honoré. Increasingly acting as a marchand-ébèniste, Boudin was one of the most prolific of the Transitional Period; his stamp as a marchand often appears alongside those of the maker, particularly Roussel, Peridiez and Cosson, with whom he collaborated frequently. A closely related parquetry table was sold from the estate of Albin Salton at Christie's, New York, 18 October 2002, lot 585 and another table was sold anonymously at Christie's, London, 10 December 2009, lot 591.
