Antoine H\u00e9ricourt (c. 1730\u20131792) earned his master craftsman's certificate on October 20, 1773, after working for several years as a journeyman in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine district. Following his master's degree, he established himself on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honor\u00e9 and became a representative of his guild, later serving as its head. His substantial output, highly prized by both French and international clientele, consisted of refined, classically crafted furniture, primarily Transition-style commodes with projecting fronts, veneered and inlaid with floral designs, and Louis XVI-style commodes, often half-moon shaped, made of exquisitely figured mahogany. H\u00e9ricourt used meticulously chased bronze only for the frames. He also produced a few pieces finished with lacquer or varnish in the Chinese style. In 1792, the auction of his wares, left behind at his death, lasted several days due to the sheer volume of furniture in his shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
