Louis Cresson, maître in 1738.
Designed in the Louis XV 'pittoresque' style, this beautifully-carved screen is consistent with the oeuvre of Louis Cresson, the most talented of the Cresson dynasty of menuisiers. Founded by Charles and Jean Cresson during the Régence and continued by Louis, Michel and René during the first half of the 18th Century, this family of chair-makers was based in the rue de Cléry. Louis, whose work stands out for its refined carving and bold proportions, was patronised by the duc d'Orléans and the prince de Condé.
