François RÜBESTÜCK (1722-1785), awarded the title of Master in Paris in 1766. So-called "tric-trac" table in frieze veneer framed in light wood fillets. It stands on four curved legs and features a checkerboard marquetry on one side of the top, and a later gilded leather writing surface on the other. Gilt bronze ornamentation such as sabots, openwork falls and draw knobs. Height Height : 72.5 cm Width : 87 cm Depth: 70.5 cm Restoration. Note : Originally from Germany, Rübestück settled in Paris, where he became a master cabinetmaker in 1766. Skilled and meticulous, he produced numerous pieces of furniture in the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles, often decorated with black and gold varnish and Chinese motifs. Although he knew how to adapt to fashion, his career was hampered by personal problems and alcohol. He died poor and without an heir, his modest estate going to the king.
