Lot Essay

Jean Boucault, maître in 1728.

The curvaceous lines of these elegant fauteuils illustrate the characteristic fluidity of Boucault's work. Established on the rue de Cléry, Boucault worked in the Louis XV and transitional styles, and supplied numerous pieces to such notable patrons as Louise Elisabeth, duchess of Parma, and the duc de Choiseul, his most famous patron. A set of comparable fauteuils by Boucault was sold Chrsitie's, London, 7 December 2006, lot 20 (£131,200).
