Paul-François Jean, Carpenter. Received his master's diploma on October 5, 1784. He practiced on rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine under the "Saint-Esprit" sign. He made luxury seats with the help of sculptors Joigny, Cresson, Duclos and Mancien. Jean Paul-François was a Parisian joiner domiciled on rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, under the "Saint-Esprit" sign. He became a master in 1784 and went bankrupt in 1789. His production includes classic Louis XVI models of rigorous form. His stamp can be found on rather original pieces, treated in a firm, nervous style, such as the lovely mahogany lyre chairs in the former collection of Baron H. de Bethmann. Carved with finesse, a salon set (sofa, two bergères and six armchairs) of unusual and complicated design, to say the least, was sold in Paris in 1979.
Louis XVI period furniture, 18th century, circa 1780.
