Louis Nicolas Mariette, master in 1770, is like many of his colleagues from a family of master seat carpenters. Younger brother of Claude Louis Mariette, Louis Nicolas left a work of a more supple, more delicate and more refined line than that of his brother.Nicolas-Louis Mariette, brother of Claude-Louis, had been working for more than twenty years as a free worker when he acquired the mastery on October 1, 1770. After having lived on rue de la Roquette, at the "Roy de Naples", he resided on rue de Charenton until around 1786. This carpenter produced good carved works, such as bed frames "with fluting, candlesticks and lamp bases".Under Louis XVI, the light and fine manner of Nicolas-Louis was to assert itself.Nicolas Louis Mariette deserves an enviable place in the phalanx of good seat makers of the 18th century. Attached is a copy of the stamp.
