Cabinetmaker to the Prince de Cond\u00e9, Jean Demoulin was born in Selongey, C\u00f4te d'Or, and appears to have apprenticed in Dijon before moving to Paris circa 1749, where he obtained his master's degree.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A few years later, however, he returned to Dijon, where he set up his workshop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On September 22, 1781, he and his sons Jean-Baptiste and Bertrand were awarded the patent of cabinetmakers by the Prince de Cond\u00e9, Governor of Burgundy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He practiced until 1788.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Noteworthy in his production is an exceptional Louis XV commode with two drawers decorated with Coromandel lacquer; or a large and remarkable Louis XV commode in lacquer with polychrome decoration in the Chinese style from the Ch\u00e2teau de Chanteloup (now in the Tours museum).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Attribu\u00e9 \u00e0 Demoulin Secr\u00e9taire en noyer \u00e0 d\u00e9cor de ch\u00e2teau et moulin en marqueterie \u00e9poque Louis XVI Un \u00e9l\u00e9gant secr\u00e9taire en noyer, et placages de buis, amarante, prunier et sycomore teint\u00e9.
