Léonard Boudin (1735-1804) - Cabinetmaker. Paris. Master on March 4, 1761. Initially working for Migeon, Boudin quickly became successful and one of the main traders in Paris offering his work and that of other talented cabinetmakers. Boudin left behind Louis XV, Transition and Louis XVI style furnitures, always of excellent manufacture, which can be found today in the greatest museums.

Beautiful, very elegant amateur furniture, ideal for completing an 18th century decor, the desk has beautiful lines and is neither too big nor too small. Excellent condition, completely restored by our cabinetmaker with a superb varnish. Traces of old restorations and veneer repairs.
