History: This carpenter, established on rue de Cléry under the "Grand Saint-Georges" brand, produced beautiful Louis XV seats, very sober with clean and supple, elegantly curved lines. After the death of Etienne Saint-Georges in 1736, his widow maintained the activity of the workshop, which she passed on to her son Jean-Etienne in 1747. Their three daughters married carpenters: Jean-Baptiste II Lelarge, Claude Séné and Jean-Baptiste Mouette.
