Along with Jean-Henri Riesener, Jean-François Leleu apprenticed in the workshop of Jean-François Oeben. After Oeben's death and Riesener marrying Oeben's widow, Leleu left the atelier to obtain his letters of maîtrise and set up his workshop first in the Chaussée de la Cointrescarpe and then on the rue Royale. He became almost instantly successful and his clients included the Prince de Condé, Madame du Barry, Baron d'Ivry and the Marquis de Marigny.
