Specialist note

Jean-René Nadal (dit l'Aîné), maître in 1756.
The Nadal family of menuisiers worked from their atelier in the rue de Cléry and flourished throughout the 18th Century. According to the comte de Salverte, Jean Nadal employed a stamp with an inverted 'N', while his son Jean-Michel used the same stamp but with a normal 'N'.
