Jacques BIRCKLE (1734 - 1803)
He obtained his master's degree on July 30, 1764.
From 1785, he became one of the suppliers of Furniture Storage under Louis XVI.
Queen Marie-Antoinette placed him orders for the Château de Saint-Cloud.
Its production, dense, varied, of very good quality, easily adapts to changing styles.
Active, conscientious, careful cabinetmaker, he seeks above all the decorative effect.
He excels there thanks to his talent as a marketer.
In the majority of his furniture, practically devoid of bronzes, a predominance of marquetry in bright and contrasting tones prevails, drawn with simplicity, without superfluous details, often framed by Greek-style nets.
These 2 pieces of furniture are a glaring example
