说明：Very little biographical information is known about François-Barthélemy Crespi, who apparently was born in Rome and started his career in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine and later operated from centrally-located workshops in the Rue de la Pelleterie and Rue de la Calandre on the Ile de la Cité. His small surviving corpus of document works consists primarily of bureaux plats, commodes and other case furniture in the mature Louis XVI style manufactured with high quality richly figured mahogany or bois satiné veneers and exquisitely designed and chased gilt bronze mounts.
