Catalogue Note

Brice Peridiez, maître before 1737, d. 1757

Peridiez was survived by five children, at least three of them were cabinetmakers, the better known were Gérard (maître 1761) and Louis (maître 1764).  Both Gérard and Louis had his own estampille; it is possible that one of them, or their brother (whose name is unrecorded) continued to use their father's stamp on pieces which were produced in the years following his death in 1757.
