Fran\u00e7ois LIEUTAUD (1665 \u2013 1748)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A cabinetmaker originally from Marseille, he received his master's certificate in Paris at the end of the 17th century and was active during the reign of Louis XIV and the Regency. He worked within the privileged confines of the Saint-Jean-de-Latran cloister, and Louis XIV granted him the rare privilege of creating and crafting the bronze mounts for his furniture. He collaborated with No\u00ebl G\u00e9rard (who was also a mercer), as well as with Charles Cressent and even Andr\u00e9-Charles Boulle (who appointed him as his personal expert during a trial in 1719). He founded a dynasty of cabinetmakers, as his son Charles and his grandson Balthazar (famous for his regulator clocks) practiced the same craft. Long unknown to art historians due to his stamp bearing only the initials "FL," he is nevertheless considered one of the greatest cabinetmakers of his time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
