Jean-Pierre Dusautoy, ma?tre in 1779.
Jean-Pierre Dusautoy of the rue de Charonne is recorded as having worked for the tapissier Bonnemain, as well as for the marchand-ébéniste Nicolas Lannuier. He seems to have specialised in the production of small tables ambulantes, including that owned by Marie-Antoinette at the Prison du Temple (sold in Paris, Ader Picard Tajan, 15 April 1989, lot 155 FF 480,000). A similar table-en-chiffonniere by Dusautoy but with fewer mounts was sold anonymously, Christie's, London, 3 April 2012, lot 442 (£3,000, including premium).
