"Bernard Molitor, Luxembourg Cabinetmaker, leaves to try his luck in Paris. In the 18th century, France is a true melting pot of the arts and the mind. He is one of the last Masters of the Corporation to work for the King. He owns one of the only workshops that the revolutionary turmoil will not succeed in destroying. From the Directory to the Restoration, he knows, while satisfying the whims of ephemeral fashions, how to keep an original style. His subjects of inspiration are influenced by current events, at the time of the Return from Egypt, but his style remains Ancien Régime. Solid mahogany, precious woods serve the return to Antiquity, favoring a sobriety of good quality. The sources explored by the author are multiple. They are all the more precious since the abolition of corporations eliminates the systematic use of the stamp and makes many works difficult to authenticate. This cabinetmaker is represented at the Musée du Louvre by Two cabinets in Chinese Lacquer, resting on Ebony bases decorated with bronze Palmettes."
