François Levet (1738-1806), carpenter, master in 1763.
François Levet, a joiner in Lyon, was also a master carpenter. From this first speciality, he kept the particularity of numbering his pieces of wood, as they appear on our armchairs, which also present all the structural specificities of Lyon chairs. For a similar stamped chair, see : Antiquités Gérardin, Lyon, 2023 (fig. 6).
Many thanks to Olivier Walas for his contribution.
