A bit of history:

Léonard BOUDIN (1735 - 1804)
A simple worker, L. BOUDIN earned a poor living when the cabinetmaker MIGEON asked him, for 3 of his clients, to make furniture in marquetry and varnish in Chinese taste.

Having amassed a small nest egg, he passed and obtained his Master's degree on March 4, 1761, then set up his workshop on rue Traversière.
From 1770, he received orders from many renowned merchants such as Louis Moreau.
He quickly acquired a great reputation and became known above all for his very varied marquetry, worked with finesse and perfection.
He opened in 1772 a shop in the cloister of St Germain l'Auxerrois. Faced with the influx of orders, he in turn got help from other cabinetmakers, hence the double stamp on some of his works and in particular on our chest of drawers.
BOUDIN left a certain number of Louis XV and Transition style furniture, always of excellent manufacture and which define by their veneer and marquetry particular and characteristic signs "à la manière BOUDIN".
To this positive spirit, he added an innate feeling for Art. The many pieces that have come down to us bearing his mark attest to the finesse of his taste.
Almost all of them are distinguished by their pretty lines, their harmonious proportions, their light and smart appearance, in particular curved chests of drawers of the most supple and delicate elegance.
His signature is never negligible, because of the skill that guided him and the pride he attached to the renown of his name.

Louis Noël MALLE ...
Sometimes referred to by the first name "Noël",
The General Almanac of Merchants (1772 - 1774) mentions this cabinetmaker among the main marquetry workers of the capital, and supplier of the Mobilier national
