Pierre Nogaret was born in Paris in 1718 and would remain the undisputed master of the Lyonnais seat under the reign of Louis XV. His biography can only be based on Lyon parish registers, as all other documents were destroyed in 1871 when the archives of the H\u00f4tel de Ville in Paris were burnt down by the Commune. However, it is thought that after an apprenticeship in Paris, probably with a great master, he left the capital in 1743 to settle in Lyon, where he continued his training with the Lyon master Fran\u00e7ois Girard, based in Petite rue Saint Romain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In 1744, he married Anne Muguet, a native of Roanne, and obtained his master's degree in Lyon in 1745.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n From 1745 to 1761, he had fifteen children, many of whom died in infancy. He does not seem to have invested much time in the life of his guild, of which he was only elected master-guard with Mathieu Lerbet on 9 February 1771.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He died on 23 August of the same year and was buried in the \u2018cave de Saint-Roch\u2019. On his death, his children were placed under the guardianship of master cabinetmaker \u00c9tienne Vanderheyden. In 1772, his wife sold the \u2018fond de boutique\u2019 to master carpenter Nicolas Parmentier, who continued his production by affixing his stamp to some of his unfinished works.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pierre Nogaret – Fauteuil \u00e0 fond de cannes en noyer moulur\u00e9 et sculpt\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9poque Louis XV vers 1765 Beau fauteuil \u00e0 fond de cannes d’\u00e9poque Louis XV en noyer moulur\u00e9 et sculpt\u00e9, \u00e0 d\u00e9cor de fleurettes.
