Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lapie (1720-1797): Cabinetmaker in Paris, received his Master's degree on December 15, 1763.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First cousin of Nicolas Alexandre and Jean Lapie, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lapie acquired his master's degree late in life, setting up shop on rue de Charenton before moving to rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, where he lived until he died in 1797.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Son estampille est retrouv\u00e9e sur peu de meubles, aux lignes classiques. Quelques marqueteries de branchages fleuris illustrent \u00e9galement son \u0153uvre. On peut citer comme exemple de ses travaux une commode de forme assez singuli\u00e8re, qui a fait partie de l’ameublement du vicomte Beuret au ch\u00e2teau de Dampierre.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Louis XV rosewood wardrobe inlaid with flowering branches - Mus\u00e9e Cognacq-Jay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lapie (1720-1797) – Commode en marqueterie de bois de Rose et bois de Violette d\u2019\u00e9poque Louis XV Une \u00e9l\u00e9gante commode l\u00e9g\u00e8rement galb\u00e9e ouvrant par quatre tiroirs sur trois rangs en fa\u00e7ade, en placage de bois de Rose dans des encadrements de bois de Violette soulign\u00e9s de filets de buis ou sycomore teint\u00e9.
