 Jean-Chrysostom Stumpff (1731-1806)
 Master August 27, 1766 is of German origin like many Parisian cabinetmakers of the 18th century.
 Born in Swabia, Stumpff established himself as a free craftsman on rue Saint Nicolas where he remained after obtaining his master's degree in 1766. His stamp is found on many works in rosewood veneer and lacquer in the Far Eastern style.  Orient, with marquetry with geometric motifs.
 But what made the notoriety of this cabinetmaker was a very original marquetry, trompe l'oeil, simulating small cubes and crosses in relief, marquetry which had a huge success in 1770.
 a half-moon piece of furniture bearing his mark appeared at the exhibition of Decorative Arts in 1882.
 Most of his production is in the transition style, his Louis XV furniture (quite rare) and Louis XVI are always of excellent workmanship.
