Roger Vandercruse, dit Lacroix or 'RVLC', maître in 1755.

Roger Van der Cruse, known as Lacroix, was among the premier cabinetmakers of the transitional period late in the reign of Louis XV and into the Louis XVI style. A master cabinetmaker of Flemish origin, Lacroix received his maîtres in 1755 and was at the heart of Parisian cabinetmaking life, connected via his sisters’ marriages to Jean-Francois and Simon Oeben, Jean-Henri Riesener, and Simon Guillaume, and through his own wife was related to Pierre Pioniez and Jean Marchand. Lacroix provided furniture for the French Royal Family as well as the marchands merciers of Paris.

Lacroix was specialized in the production of small, costly items of furniture, often embellished with intricate marquetry and sophisticated mechanical devices. His work was distinguished from early on by the quality of its marquetry often executed in floral and geometric patterns and in timbers of light tone such as bois satiné and bois citronnier. The maître ébéniste was also among the first cabinet-makers to embrace Neoclassicism and created the highest quality furnishings in the new taste. He often achieved its characteristic symmetry and balance by the use of uniform parquetry inlay as visible in the present lot.
