Ancienne collection Camille Plantevignes, Paris

Balthazar Lieutaud, cabinetmaker, received his master's degree in 1749.

He specialized in regulator cases, producing a large number in the neoclassical style between 1765 and 1770. Our example is typical of the in-between styles of the 18th century, with a few touches of rocaille surviving in a neoclassical form.

Established in the early 20th century, Camille Plantevignes' collection is well known to international museums, such as the Getty Museum and the Metropolitan Museum, which hold important pieces. His son Marcel kept part of it until his death. Marcel was a close friend of Marcel Proust, for whom he wrote a memoir published in 1966.
