Pierre Langlois Furniture
PIERRE LANGLOIS
The fashion for inlaid and ormolu-enriched furniture was accentuated by the French ebeniste, Pierre Langlois. Based in Tottenham Court Road, London, from the 1750's, Langlois specialised in furniture which made him the most renowned cabinet-maker of his time. His introduction of Parisian style to English furniture brought considerable business success. Commissions were received from the Royal family, the Dukes of Northumberland and Bedford, the Earl of Coventry and the Marquis of Zetland.
