ADRIEN DUBOIS
Little is known of this accomplished cabinet-maker who made a particular specialty of clock cases. He was the nephew of Jacques Dubois, one of the foremost cabinet-makers of the Louis XV period, and before achieving his maîtrise was the chef d'atelier of Bernard II Van Risenburgh (BVRB). Other recorded works by him include a régulateur in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris (inv. no. 15106) and a pair of consoles supplied to Louis-Antoine Crozat de Thiers in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (acc. nos. 1021:1 to 3-1882). He must also have worked as a restorer, as indicated by the presence of his stamp on the famous bureau plat by Boulle from the Ashburnham-Givenchy collections (sold Christie's, Monaco, 4 December 1993, lot 68).
