Jacques van Oostenrijk, called Dautriche, maître in 1765.
The Dutchman Jacques van Oostenrijk, dit Dautriche was born in the Netherlands between 1725-1728 and arrived in Paris around 1743. He worked for some 20 years before attaining his mâtrise in 1765 - largely due to the fact that it was difficult for an outsider to amass the requisite fees and meet the stringent requirements of the guild. He worked as an ouvrier libre and in the 1750s worked for such craftsmen as Pierre II Migeon and Denis Genty. After achieving his mâtrise he moved into a more prestigious location in the rue Traversire, moving towards the end of his life to the rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine. Through the marriage of one his children he became allied with Pierre Boichod (ébéniste privilégé du roi) whose establishment was near to that of Joseph Baumhauer, one of the most talented and progressive craftsmen of the period. Dautriche did not become a dealer and spent his entire career as a furniture maker; his most important commission was for the Comte d'Artois for whom he made ten commodes for the Palais du Temple between June and September 1777.
