Martin Carlin (ca 1730 – 1785) was a Parisian ébéniste, born at Freiburg, who was received master at Paris in 1766. Carlin worked at first in the shop of Jean-François Oeben, whose sister he married.〔When Oeben died in 1763, Carlin, who was living nearby, was one of his creditors (Eriksen 1974:159).〕 He set up independently in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, an unfashionable quarter of Paris, where few of his wealthy clientele would have penetrated. Carlin sold his works exclusively to ''marchands-merciers'' such as Simon-Philippe Poirier〔Other ''ébénistes'' working for Poirier were Roger Vandercruse Lacroix and Bernard II van Risamburgh〕 and his partner Dominique Daguerre, who acted as decorator-designers. It was only through these entrepreneurs that Carlin could acquire the Sèvres porcelain plaques that decorate many of his pieces. His earliest such pieces are datable by the marks on their porcelain to 1766; they followed designs supplied by the dealer Poirier. Although Martin Carlin made some larger pieces— ''secrétaires à abattant'' (drop-front secretary desks), tables, and commodes— he is best known for refined small furnishings in neoclassical taste, some of them veneered with cut up panels of Chinese lacquer, which he would also have received from the hands of the ''marchands-merciers''. ==Collection== ''Bonheur du jour (Table à gradin dite )'' : *Bonheur du jour, 1765, Bowes Museum, UK : *Bonheur du jour, 1766, Musée Nissim de Camondo, France : *Bonheur du jour, 1766, Waddesdon Manor, UK : *Bonheur du jour, 1768, Boughton House, UK : *Bonheur du jour, 1768, delivered to the Comtesse du Barry, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, USA : *Bonheur du jour, 1769, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, USA : *Bonheur du jour, 1770, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, USA : *Bonheur du jour, 1770, The Huntington Library, USA : *Bonheur du jour, 1770, Waddesdon Manor, UK : *Bonheur du jour, 1771, The Huntington Library, USA : *Bonheur du jour, 1774, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, USA ''Bureau plat'' (Writing table) : *Bureau plat, 1778, delivered to the Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna and Grand Duke Paul Petrovich of Russia for the Palace of Pavlosk, Getty Museum, USA ''Cabinet'' : *Cabinet, c. 1783, Royal Collection, UK ''Coffret à bijoux'' : *Coffret à bijoux, 1770, delivered to Marie-Antoinette for the Petit Triannon, Château de Versailles, France : *Coffret à bijoux, c. 1770, delivered to the Comtesse du Barry, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, USA : *Coffret à bijoux, c. 1774, delivered to the Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna and Grand Duke Paul Petrovich of Russia for the Palace of Pavlosk, Detroit Museum of Art, USA : *Coffret à bijoux, c. 1775, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, USA : *Coffret à bijoux, c. 1775, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, USA ''Commode à vantaux'' (Commode with doors) : *Commode à vantaux, c. 1778, inset with Pietra Dure panels (one of Carlin's greatest examples), Royal Collection, UK ''Encoignure'' (Corner cabinet) : *Pair of ''Encoignures'', 1772, Wallace Collection, UK ''Music-stand'' : *Music-stand, 1770-75, Getty Museum, USA ''Music-stand and writing-table'' : *Music-stand and writing-table, 1786, given by Marie-Antoinette to Mrs William Eden (later Lady Auckland), V&A, UK ''Reading stand'' : *Reading stand, c. 1780, V&A, UK ''Secrétaire'' : *Secrétaire, 1775, Getty Museum, USA : *Secrétaire, 1776, Wallace Collection, UK : *Secrétaire, 1776-77, Getty Museum, USA ''Secrétaire à abattant'' : *Secrétaire à abattant, 1770-80, V&A, UK ''Table à ouvrage'' : *Table à ouvrage, 1770. delivered to the duchesse de Mazarin in 1779 for her dressing room, Getty Museum, USA : *Table à ouvrage, 1773, Getty Museum, USA : *Table à ouvrage, 1775, V&A, UK : *Table à ouvrage, 1783-84, Wallace Collection, UK : *Table à ouvrage, 1786, given by Marie-Antoinette to Mrs William Eden (later Lady Auckland), V&A, UK 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Martin Carlin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
