ESTAMPILLE DE CLAUDE LECLERC, FIN DU XVIIIE SIECLE
Exerçant rue de Charenton à l'Agneau Pascal, Leclerc eu une production de sièges toujours élégante et parfaitement proportionnée. Bien qu'initialement connu comme menuisier en fauteuil, il se lancera quelques années plus tard dans la création de meubles d'ébénisterie notamment en acajou et en noyer. En 1811 le Garde-Meuble impérial lui commandera des tables mais également des armoires, meubles alors destinés au service des grands-officier de la Couronne.
