Boulard and upholstered in silver, gold and peony woven brocade.. Provenance: Andre & Cecile Fink Antiquaries, Sydney, 2008, other notes: Jean-Baptiste Boulard (1725-1789), began as an apprentice to the renowned menuisier Michel Avisse. Boulard worked almost exclusively for the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne from 1777, supplying a plethora of menuiserie to the Crown at Versailles, the Tuileries, Fontainebleau and Saint-Cloud. He collaborated with fellow menuisier Jean-Baptiste Sene (maitre in 1769), with whom he shared many Royal commissions, to deliver a suite of chairs for Mme Elisabeth's dining room at Montreuil and again in 1786, to deliver a suite of twelve dining-chairs for the salle a manger of Louis XVI at Versailles (P.
