專家說明

Pierre Nogaret, maître in 1745

Nogaret is arguably the most celebrated menuisier working outside the capital. After his apprentissage in Paris, he settled in Lyon in 1745 where he created seat-furniture, mainly in walnut, with characteristic bold mouldings highlighted with strong naturalistically carving.
This canapé of unusual scale and prominent carving relates to another, illustrated in A. Ferrier, 'Nogaret et sa manière de galber un siège Louis XV', Connaissance des Arts, June 1959, p. 117.
