Jean-Baptiste H\u00e9douin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The life of Jean-Baptiste H\u00e9douin remains relatively unknown. After completing his master's degree, he set up his workshop on Rue Traversi\u00e8re-Saint-Antoine. All his furniture is of high quality. Primarily in the Regency and Louis XV styles, almost all veneered with sheets or latticework, it is also quite varied: wardrobes, flat and slant-front desks, bookcases\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But chests of drawers make up the bulk of his production. Most adopt the rounded, heavy forms of the Regency style. Others, however, feature lighter, more curved lines, with uprights and apron highlighted with gilt bronze. Finally, two pieces depart considerably from his usual style: a pair of stepped corner cabinets in Chinese lacquer and polychrome European varnish, with rocaille bronze frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, his stamp appears on some furniture alongside that of his colleague Migeon. It is therefore assumed that H\u00e9douin also worked for merchants. Finally, after a long career, Jean-Baptiste H\u00e9douin died at his home on Rue Traversi\u00e8re-Saint-Antoine in 1783.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
