Small chest of drawers from the transition period stamped LARDIN for André-Antoine Lardin (1724-1790), Parisian cabinetmaker received Master on July 1, 1750. Hallmark of Jurande. To be restored Provenance: Marquis Henri de Breteuil, Countess Hélène de Breteuil, Jacques Peltzer family collection. As proven by official documents, the possession of this piece of furniture dates back to the Marquis Henry the cooper of Breteuil (1847-1916). But a hypothesis says that it is most likely in the family from the start. This hypothesis, if it were to be confirmed, would lead us to identify the original owner as Jacques-Laure Le Tonnelier de Breteuil (February 9, 1723 - August 26, 1785, Paris), engraver, great collector and friend of the arts. This lovely dresser appears in the 1953 inventory relating to the estate of the Marquis Henri de Breteuil drawn up by Maître Etienne Ader 6 rue Favart (page 10). it was estimated there at 300,000 francs. It is also included in the inventory for insurance drawn up in 1979 by the auctioneers Chapelle-Perrin-Fromantin listing the property at Madame de Breteuil's at 16 rue Singer in Paris. Copies of the pages showing the lot and the official inventory covers will be given to the buyer. (But in no case the complete files out of respect for privacy). After her marriage to Georges Peltzer, the chest of drawers adorned the Peltzer castle in Verviers. Also included is a photo of the interior of Peltzer Castle in 1957, showing the chest of drawers. Height: 86 cm Dimensions: 66 x 42 cm. To be restored
