Lot Essay
Fidelys Schey, maître in February 1777.
Schey had a prolific, if short-lived career. Established in the Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, adjacent to the atelier run by his wife, he was patronised by the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne at the château de Fontainebleau in 1786. Identical angle-mounts appear on a Louis XVI parquetry commode stamped by Schey, which is illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Franais du XVIII Siècle, Paris, 1989, p. 785.
