Claude-François DROUILLY, received his master's degree on July 27, 1748, and remained in the business for some twenty years. A chair carpenter based on rue de Charenton, he left a number of fine works in walnut and carved beech, most of them caned. Some of them, like our armchairs, are still inspired by the spirit of the Regency period.
