Pierre-Harry Mewesen, Maître Ébéniste in 1766.

Originally from Scandinavia, Pierre Harry Mewesen worked in Paris and produced high quality furniture in the Louis XV style and more commonly transitional and Louis XVI pieces including commodes, bureaux, secretaires and encoignures. Many examples of his work are decorated with marquetry depicting flowers, musical instruments and trophies and his mounts are usually restrained and discreet. Some of his rarer pieces include lacquer and the present secretaire (as well as lot 23, the commode) demonstrate less common use of lacquer depicting Oriental landscapes.
