Note du spécialiste

Léonard Boudin, maître in 1761.
Léonard Boudin was particularly renowned for the quality of his masterful inlay, a skill he learned while apprenticed to the ébéniste, Pierre II Migeon (d. 1758). In 1772, he began retailing furniture from premises on the rue Fromenteau, five years later he moved to the cloister of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois. As a marchand-ébéniste, his stamp is often found alongside that of RVLC, Evald, Denizot and Gilbert, indicating that Boudin retailed these pieces on behalf of these ébénistes. Boudin worked not only with marquetry and parquetry veneers, but also with Chinese lacquer and japanned panels imitating Chinese lacquer.
