Pierre Boichod was already the King's privileged carpenter when he obtained his mastery in 1769. Established on rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine under the name "à la Boule Blanche" he worked for his colleagues Oeben and Migeon. Although he produced some Louis XV style furniture, the majority of his works are in the Transition and Louis XVI style. We owe him small works, delicately marquetry and sculpted, such as small tables, shelves, small chests of drawers generally in mahogany.
