Jean Charles ELLAUME:
Awarded the title of Master on November 6, 1754, he opened his workshop on rue Traversière where, for 30 years, he produced quality furniture, notably commodes and flat desks, mostly in the Louis XV style, all in rosewood or violet veneer framed with rosewood or amaranth.
The bronze ornamentation is elegant and finely chiseled.
ELLAUME was considered an excellent cabinetmaker in his day.
