Andr\u00e9-Antoine Lardin (1724 \u2013 August 10, 1790) received his master craftsman's certificate on July 1, 1750. He set up shop on the rue de Charenton, under the sign "Au Bois de Boulogne." He worked there until 1770, then moved to the rue Saint-Nicolas. His output was considerable. His furniture, in all styles (Louis XIV, Regency, Louis XV, Transition, Louis XVI), is exquisitely crafted, with classical forms and decoration. In addition to secretaries, desks, tables, and chiffoniers, he produced an impressive number of commodes. These are veneered with rosewood or violet wood of exceptional quality, in leaf or butterfly patterns, within dark palisander frames. A distinctive feature: Lardin stamped his mark in very large letters, with energy, in several places on the same piece of furniture. His two sons, Andr\u00e9-Antoine II and Louis Fran\u00e7ois, collaborated with him, and it was Louis Fran\u00e7ois who succeeded him on rue Saint Nicolas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
