Lot Essay

The table à écrire can confidently be attributed to Jean-Pierre Dusautoy, maître in 1779, of the Rue De Charonne. Inspired by the oeuvre of his contemporary, Roger Vandercruse, Dit LaCroix, Dusautoy is recorded as having worked for the Tapissier Bonnemain, as well as for the marchand-ebeniste Nicolas Lannuier. Related tables by Dusautoy include that illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français Du XVllle Siecle, Paris, 1989, p. 292, as well as those sold anonymously at Christie's, London, 14 June 1990, lot 104 and 13 June 1991, lot 83.
