Catalogue Note
Jean-Charles Saunier, ébéniste reçu maître en 1743
Cet important bureau au style rocaille le plus accompli correspond au début de la production de Claude-Charles Saunier qui est plus connu pour ses meubles d'époque Louis XVI. Fils de Claude-Charles Saunier, il travailla à ses côtés avant de reprendre son atelier en 1765.
Un bureau de Saunier présentant la même marqueterie en croisillons et les mêmes montures de bronze doré a été présenté chez Christie's à Paris, le 16 décembre 2008, lot 218. Ce dernier présentait des dimensions légèrement plus grandes.
