Cabinetmaker on the Faubourg Saint-Antoine and then rue de Charonne, Germain Landrin subcontracted for important cabinetmakers such as Pierre II Migeon, Denis Genty and Jean-François Oeben. Landrin specialized in meubles d'appoint and meubles à système and this pair of tables is very close to those made by Migeon, for whom Landrin worked for over 15 years.
