Belonging to a prominent Parisian family of cabinetmakers, Martin Delaporte was a very skilled chair maker. He is credited with beautiful, well-balanced Louis XV style armchairs. The stamp MDLP was used by Martin DELAPORTE's workshop from the 1740s onwards. His stamp is also found on Louis XVI style chairs, but these were likely made by his nephew, Martin Nicolas, who took over his workshop and stamp after his death.
