Louis Delanois, maître in 1761.
One of the most celebrated and accomplished menuisiers of the eighteenth century, Delanois was first established in rue Bourbon-Villeneuve and then in rue des Petits-Carreaux. He produced a plethora of seat furnishings, among which a large amount was commissioned by marchands-merciers as well as distinguished private clients such as the comte d'Artois, the prince de Condé, and Stanislas II of Poland. Delanois was a also a supplier to the comtesse du Barry who, in 1771, commissioned chairs from him to furnish the Salon du Roi of her pavilion at Louveciennes. A large number of Delanois’ commissions were recorded in his Livre des Ouvrages et Fournitures de Meubles faits à crédit (1761-1777) which is now in the Archives de la Ville de Paris.
