Note du spécialiste

François Laurent Reuze, maître in 1743.

The son of the maître-menuisier Pierre, François Laurent Reuze flourished in the rue de Cléry for over 50 years and enjoyed the extensive patronage of both Queen Marie-Antoinette and the Swedish Court. Working alongside his father in the same atelier, in 1751 he supplied seat furniture to Monsieur Montgeron and Monsieur d'Aguesseoui. His oeuvre, almost all executed in a mature Louis XV style, is characterized by its ample, generous proportions and the fluidity of its lines.
