Lot Essay

Jacques van Oostenrijk, dit Dautriche, maître in 1765.
Born in the Low Countries, Jacques van Oostenrijk, settled in Paris sometime before 1743, at which time he gallicized his name to Dautriche. Until he became maître, he worked as an independant journeyman, specialising in marquetry. Dautriche was for a long time established in the rue Traversière, moving towards the end of his life to the rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine. Among his clients was the Comte d'Artois. When he died in 1778, his workshop was taken over by his widow Elizabeth Hannot and his son Thomas-Jacques Dautriche, who was later to take part in the storming of the Bastille. A magnificent commode by Dautriche, with similar lattice parquetry ground, was sold Christie's, New York, 26 October 2001, lot 290 ($110,500).
