Attributed to Canabas
Louis XVI period

H. 100 x W. 90.5 x D. 50 cm

The ingenuity of this dismountable piece of furniture and the balance of its lines carved in fine mahogany allow us to attribute this loom to Canabas. We also know that an embroidery loom similar to ours, bearing the master's stamp, passed to the Remy le Fur study on June 17, 2008.
Canabas received his master's diploma in 1766, but probably arrived in Paris in the 1730s. For a long time, he worked for Jean-François Oeben and Pierre Migeon as a privileged craftsman, before striking out on his own.
King of "small mahogany furniture", he left us a large production of flying furniture, which often responded to the Anglomania of the court elites by using mahogany exclusively.
The Château de Versailles preserves a loom reminiscent of our own, attributed to Canabas, in the apartments of Madame de Pompadour (inv. V. 6144).
