(b Paris, c. 1715-20; d after 1783). French cabinetmakers and dealers. Were on of the most famous familes of cabinetmakers; father, Francois Faizelot Delorme (1691-1768), and brothers Jean-Louis Faizelot Delorme, Alexis Faizelot Delorme and Adrien Delorme were all maitres-ebenistes. Adrien became a maitre-ebeniste on 22 June 1748 and was a juror of his guild from 1768 to 1770. Jean Louis Faizelot Delorme became maitre ebeniste in 1763. They made and sold luxury furniture throughout the 18th century in the Regence and Louis XV style, decorated with japanning either in imitation of Chinese lacquer (e.g. Amsterdam, Rijksmus.) or with European decoration (e.g. Waddesdon Manor, Bucks, NT). He also carried out sumptuous floral marquetry (e.g. Paris, Petit Pal.). His most distinguished work consisted of small pieces of furniture (e.g. Paris, Louvre; London, V&A; Washington, DC, Hillwood Mus.) embellished with floral marquetry or inlays of scrolls and foliation executed in end-grain wood on a dark-veined, light-wood ground forming a chevron pattern (e.g. Lyon, Mus. B.-A.).</div>

Any furniture that failed to meet the required standards of craftsmanship was confiscated. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></em>The Corporation des Menuisiers was divided into two distinct trades, that of the woodworkers who made paneling (<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">boiserie</em>) for buildings and coaches, and that of the actual furniture makers. The latter can be subdivided into<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">menuisiers</em> (joiners), responsible for the making of solid wood furniture such as console tables, beds, and chairs, and the <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">ébénistes</em>, from the word <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">ébéne</em> (ebony), makers of veneered case pieces.</div>

<span class="\"\\"long_text\\"\"" id="\"\\"result_box\\"\"" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The stamp was associated with the guild system that existed at that time. The elaboration of a piece of furniture was a complex process since it involved the collaboration of several artisans, each of which belonged to his own guild, all governed by very strict rules. The executor, who was often the creator, was an ebeniste. The other artisans worked under his supervision, like the sculptor, the engraver, the caster, the gilder, the metal worker, etc.. The cabinet makers’ guild had well defined statutes. The training was the same for everyone. Aspiring master cabinet makers began as apprentices in a workshop where they would stay for several years until they presented their best piece to the “Jurande”. The “Jurande” was a very powerful organ within the guild whose role was to evaluate the candidates to master cabinet makers, as well as the quality of their work. The approved works were stamped with the letters JME (Jurande des Menusiers Ebenistes), a jury of cabinet makers. After 1743 the stamp became obligatory, a rule that was strictly followed in Paris until 1790, when guilds were abolished. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />This corporative system fuelled a real “politics of marriages” so that workshops would remain in the family, and resulted in the rise of artisan “dynasties”</span></div>

An XVIIIth century illustrious family of carpenters, the Gourdin have marked the history of seats, from the Régence to Louis XVI. There was three of them: John, the father , Jean- Baptiste , the eldest son and Michel, his brother, the Gourdin family has always been synonymous with quality. Their seats tell the story of the eighteenth century styles. At the head of three separate workshops, Gourdin had a prestigious clientele and realized the most important commands of the time.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Patriarch of the dynasty, Jean Gourdin was born around 1690, probably in Paris. After gaining his master's in 1714, he married Marie-Madeleine Collet, herself from a family of carpenters. By this time, Jean Gourdin opened a shop in the Clery street, in the neighborhood of Bonne-Nouvelle, and hired companions and workers. In 1732 he inherited the shop from his father-in law, Jean Collet, which allowed him to develop his workshop and permanently associate his name at 36 rue de Clery. Then he bought the second part of the store to his wife's family in 1743.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He had four children, two girls. Marie-Anne, the eldest, born in 1719 and married in 1745 with Jean Avisse, renowned carpenter and son of Louis Avisse, the king gardener at Versailles. Marie Anne and Jean Avisse had six children, one son, Claude, who became carpenter in the Faubourg Saint -Honoré. Marie-Madeleine, the youngest of the family, was born in 1741 and married in 1761 Jean- Charles Allard, master upholsterer and dealer in Rue Dauphine.</div>

Jean Baptiste Gourdin (v.1723 - 1781) :</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">
Jean-Baptiste was born around 1723. From 1736 to 1741, unlike the craftsmen of the eighteenth century, he did not performed his apprenticeship with a master carpenter, but with a master sculptor named Toussaint Foliot. Thereafter, he returned to work in his father's workshop from 1741 to 1746. Before completing his training, he was admitted into the community of carpenters in 1747, due to his apprenticeship in his father’s workshop as well as its experience with Toussaint Foliot. He married in 1746 Marie- Françoise Ferret, daughter of master carpenter Claude Ferret. Soon, Jean-Baptiste inherited his father’s in law shop, also located rue de Clery. He opened his own workshop and hired apprentices, before buying the whole house in 1761. He had a daughter, Marie- Françoise Sophie. He ceased its activity in 1776 and died in 1781.</div>

Three independent workshops :</div>
<div style="color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each member of the Gourdin family was at the head of his own studio and none of the three son took over the father’s shop. However, their family relationships were the basis of the professional network of each of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moreover, it should be noted that Jean -Baptiste considerably developed the workshop of his father- in law, Claude Ferret, inventory indicating no less than 16 benches. In 1771, its stock of wood was as important as a huge workshop such as Tilliard. Jean- Baptiste Gourdin realized indeed many orders throughout his career.</div>
<br />

The Stamps :</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">
Jean used two stamps. The first, the initials " IG " was used before a new rule issued in 1743 ( but lasted on some models) . The second , " FATHER GOURDIN " appeared from 1748.</div>
<div style="color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">
- Jean- Baptiste used the stamp " I.GOURDIN ."</div>
<div style="color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">
- Michel , used the stamp "M.GOURDIN ."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>

Jean Gourdin received large orders from individuals, but also participated in prestigious projects. Amoung them, an order for the house of the Duchess of Mazarin (rue de Varennes) and the Château d’Asnières, which was purchased in 1750 by the Marquis de Voyer , great military and Marshal of the king Armies, in charge of Her Majesty stud farm. Castles Montgeoffroy (Anjou ) , Thoiry (Yvelines) and Conde ( Brie ) , also have many pieces of Jean Gourdin .</div>

Jean- Baptiste worked for a more eclectic clientele than his father , including many financial customers in Europe . He worked for prestigious clients such as the Marquis de Bellevaux, Claude II Bonnay and very regularly for the Prince de Soubise , Duc de Rohan. But his most famous client was the Dauphine Marie- Antoinette during its move to the court.</div>

Michel Gourdin , meanwhile , worked for Marie -Josephe de Saxe , mother of the future Louis XVI . He also made furniture for Maréchal de Contades , the Duchess de Charost and the Marquis de Poyanne .</div>

<div style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The Régence is the period in French history between 1715 and 1723, when King Louis XV was a minor and the land was governed by a Regent, Philippe d'Orléans, the nephew of Louis XIV of France.</div>
<div style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em;">
In the arts, the style of the Régence is marked by early Rococo.</div>
<div style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Rococo developed first in the decorative arts and interior design. Louis XIV's succession brought a change in the court artists and general artistic fashion. By the end of the old king's reign, rich Baroque designs were giving way to lighter elements with more curves and natural patterns. During the Régence, court life moved away from Versailles and this artistic change became well established, first in the royal palace and then throughout French high society. The delicacy and playfulness of Rococo designs is often seen as perfectly in tune with the excesses of Louis XV's regime.<br />

First exploited as a technique by André-Charles Boulle in his work for the French Court during the reign of Louis XIV, the technique has always been associated with the most opulent and expensive designs. Boulle, himself a <i>bronzier</i>, pioneered the use of the exceptionally fine and bold gilt bronze mounts that give so many pieces such sculptural presence and classical association. But in the first decades of the 18th century, although still exploiting the rich contrast of the black of the ebony, the gold of gilded bronze and brass, silver-toned pewter and often red-coloured tortoiseshell in the marquetry, Boulle introduced the light, playful designs of the <i>dessinateur de la Chambre et du Cabinet du Roi</i>, Jean Bérain. Now the decorative surfaces were enlivened with the small-scale, lacy designs of playful <i>singeries</i>, garlands of flowers and airy architectural fantasies, all held together within delicate landwork.<br />
<br />
During his own lifetime, Boulle was commissioned to make replicas of some of the great pieces made for both the King and the Court, sometimes only slightly altering the designs. After his death in 1732, Boulle's sons, who had been running the workshops since 1715, continued to produce pieces using their father's techniques and models, and demand for Boulle-marquetried furniture continued throughout the 18th century. Boulle marquetry was at the height of fashion in the time of Louis XVI when the style of the Sun King, Louis XIV, underwent a revival. From this time, great makers such as Levasseur and Baumhauer created their own versions of Boulle's originals and adapted the decorative techniques to furniture forms popular during their own time.<br />

Important makers, such as Sormani, Zwiener and Linke in France, turned their attention to copying or adapting the great pieces of the past. Many of these 19th century pieces took their places comfortably side by side with their predecessors from the 17th and 18th centuries.</span> </span></div><blockquote style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"><div><div><blockquote><div style="word-wrap: break-word;"><div style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: 'Zapf Dingbats'; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: 'Zapf Dingbats'; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"></span></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">In the Iliad, Aeneas is the leader of the Trojan's Dardanian allies (Trojans — descendants of Dardanus), as well as a third cousin and principal lieutenant of Hector, son of the Trojan king Priam. In the poem, Aeneas' mother Aphrodite frequently comes to his aid on the battlefield; he is a favorite of Apollo. Aphrodite and Apollo rescue Aeneas from combat with Diomedes of Argos, who nearly kills him, and carry him away to Pergamos for healing. Even Poseidon, who normally favors the Greeks, comes to Aeneas' rescue after he falls under the assault of Achilles, noting that Aeneas, though from a junior branch of the royal family, is destined to become king of the Trojan people. Aeneas killed 28 people in the Trojan War.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Before Aeneas founded Rome, he was a Trojan soldier. When Troy fell, he left with his followers in seven ships. He was shipwrecked on the shores of Carthage, the great African city ruled by Queen Dido. Dido and Aeneas fell deeply in love, but the gods called Aeneas away to fulfill his destiny in Italy, and Dido was left heartbroken and alone. In her despair, she built a funeral pyre and committed suicide atop it.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><br />

Being in Asia, I thought I would incorporate some Asian pieces, to fit in with the French Antiques. The problem with a lot of the Asian pieces, they tend to be a little bulky, where the French pieces have softer lines & a better quality finish.<br />
<br />
Thats why most of the Chinoiserie pieces form Europe are French or English, but have Asian characteristics or themes....<br />
<br />
So, Im looking more or less for statement pieces.....<br />
<br />
Where do we start ? Where else, but Hong Kong.....<br />

Guanyin is short for 'Guanshiyin' which means observing the cries of the world.<br />
