Henri Amand -
Seat joiner.
He passed his Maîtrise on November 17, 1749.
After setting up shop on rue de Lappe, he moved his workshop to rue de Charenton, where his widow remained from 1757 to 1768.
This cabinetmaker's workmanship is characterized by Louis XV chairs of fine proportions and craftsmanship, caned office armchairs, fauteuils à la reine carved with cartouches and florettes, and elegant sofas adorned with rocaille motifs.
Very often, he joined the legs of his chairs with a cross-brace.
Henri Amand's stamp is usually affixed to one of the uprights behind the seat.
