Jacques-Philippe Carel
Jacques-Philippe Carel (working c1723 — c1760) was a Parisian cabinet-maker (ébéniste), who was admitted to the cabinetmakers' guild in 1723 and specialized in rococo case pieces of high quality veneered in end-grain (bois de bout) floral marquetry. Two almost identical commodes made c 1755 at the Frick Collection, New York, are part of an unusually large group of commodes of almost identical shape, variously veneered but bearing the same mounts, apparently commissioned from numerous cabinetmakers by a single marchand-mercier, who originated the design and retained a monopoly of the mounts.[1]
Notes

gollark: What am I actually banned for, though?
gollark: I would've been fine with removing the claim as long as I had a trusted subclaim and the pit remained but somehow nobody thought of that.
