Jean-Baptiste Fromageau<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The son of a master carpenter, Jean Baptiste Fromageau was born around 1725. After receiving his master's certificate on November 5, 1755, he set up his workshop on Rue Traversi\u00e8re before moving to Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine. The Dauphin Almanac mentions his workshop as one of the most important in Paris. A cabinetmaker, carpenter, and haberdasher, he was a unique case in this era of strict regulations between the various guilds, because unlike Georges Jacob, he primarily produced cabinetmaking furniture but also joinery furniture (and in particular, chairs). His work includes secretaries, slant-front desks, sideboards, bookcases, wardrobes, tables\u2026 but above all, a great many commodes in the Regency, Louis XV, Transitional, and Louis XVI styles. He ceased his activity in 1777, retired for a time to Versailles before returning to Paris where, in 1781, he ran the H\u00f4tel de Russie, rue de Richelieu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
