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

The son of a master carpenter, Jean-Baptiste Fromageau was born around 1725. Having become a master craftsman on November 5, 1755, he first established himself on Rue Traversi\u00e8re, then on Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine. In fact, the Dauphin almanac listed his workshop among the most important in Paris. A cabinetmaker, carpenter, and haberdasher all in one, he was an exception, as guilds were then highly regulated. Unlike Georges Jacob, he primarily produced cabinet-made furniture, but also seating. He crafted secretaries, slant-front desks, sideboards, bookcases, wardrobes, and tables. Above all, he produced a great many commodes in the Regency, Louis XV, Transition, and Louis XVI styles. In 1777, he ceased his activity and retired for a time to Versailles. He then returned to Paris where, in 1781, he ran the H\u00f4tel de Russie on Rue de Richelieu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
