Fran\u00e7ois Duhamel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Parisian cabinetmaker, born in 1723 and received as a master on February 3, 1750, he lived until February 2, 1801. He resided on rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, and had also specialized in clock cases.
Thus, in 1775, after the death of his colleague Antoine Foullet, who specialized in the same type of work, he was entrusted with appraising his goods. However, his activity seems to have ceased three or four years later.<\/p>\n\n\n
