Desk chair called 'Couillard' stamped Etienne MEUNIER Louis XV period

Étienne Meunier was the first and certainly the most famous of a dynasty of Parisian carpenters. His life is rather unknown. Towards the middle of the XVIIIth century, he was working in the rue de Cléry and for
merchants like Pierre Migeon and Étienne Igou. All the
Louis XV chairs chairs, bearing his stamp are of a very beautiful quality. It produced bergères, armchairs with various forms, light and elegant and elegant, chairs with sober and well studied lines, a great number of beds of rest, but the armchair But the office chair appears to be his great specialty. Most of these chairs are classic, with circular seats of circular form covered with leather or trimmed with cane, whose belt rests on a foot located in in front. Etienne Meunier was probably one of the creators of this model. The decoration is discrete and the sculptures, of a great smoothness but not very abundant and not very varied, were often limited to a flower framed by some leaves. His workshop, still mentioned in 1770, was perhaps kept by widow until the end of the reign of Louis XV.
