Louis XVI Period Shepherdess By Jb Boulard

Child's shepherdess in beech wood, resting on 4 tapered, fluted and rudentate legs. The molded belts are assembled by connecting dice carved with round pellets. The armrest consoles, in the extension of the front legs, are also fluted and rudenté. The backrest underlined by a molding forms a beautiful oval which gives its elegance to this child seat. Stamped under the front cross member by Jean-Baptiste Boulard (1725-29 March 1789), received master on April 17, 1755. Installed rue de Cléry, Boulard was attached to the service of the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne, for which he worked from 1777. Renowned carpenter, he left a quality production, both in Louis XV seats, and in Louis XVI seats. He seems to have been unproductive in the Transition style. We find many of his works in the museums of Chantilly, at the MAD, Louvre, Carnavalet, at Versailles, but also at the Wallace Collection, at the Metroplitan Museum in New York, or in Lisbon. Parisian work from the Louis XVI period. Trim in home condition. Height: 88cm Width: 59cm Depth: 51cm
