Small Rose and Violet Wood Chiffonnier, stamped " Boudin ", Transitional period Louis XIV / Louis XV - 1760

Marquetry chest bearing the signature of Léonard Boudin (1735 - 1807), a renowned Parisian cabinetmaker, who went from being a simple worker to a merchant, to become at the end of his life an important merchant in his native city. The craftsman-tradesman, who obtained his master's degree in 1761, opened his first workshop in the French capital, rue Traversière, soon after.
