Antoine Héricourt received master on October 20, 1773.
When he died on December 16, 1790, Héricourt was declared a cabinetmaker and worked in a house with two shops rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore, No. 18.
All the goods forming his business are evaluated by two cabinetmakers: Jean Caumont and Conrad Mauter.
The list of his clients would be long, but it must nevertheless be remembered that he provided the Hotel des Menus in 1785, 1786, 1787 for large sums, as well as the countesses of Gramont and Duras, the Prince de Marsan, the duke of Bethune and the "fermier général" Mazières du Breuil.
