Pierre Macret
Pierre Macret (1727–1796) was a well-known Parisian cabinetmaker (''ébéniste''). At the death of the widow of Jean-Pierre Latz in December 1756, he received Latz' court warrant as ''marchaud-ébéniste privilegié du Roi suivant de la Cour'', ("royally privileged merchant-cabinetmaker following the court"), a brevet that exempted him from the stringent regulations of the Paris guild. In 1758 he was belatedly admitted ''maître-ébéniste'' by the guild, which henceforth required him to stamp his production. Numerous pieces bearing Macret's ''poinçon'' survive.
He retained premises in the fashionable rue Saint-Honoré near the church of Saint-Roch, across from the passage of the Académie de Musique. From 1765 to 1771 he provided furniture ordered by the Menus-Plaisirs:〔Georges Wildenstein, ''Rapports d'Experts Mille Sept Cent Douze à Mille Sept Cent Quartre-Vingt'', :91f, reporting a ''procès-verbal'' of 1 July 1767, concerning a pair of commodes and a secretaire en suite Macret delivered to J.B. Gaillard de Beaumanoir in Paris, in which Macret's expert witness was Adrien Delorme.〕 a commode of ca 1770 branded for the Garde-Meuble de la dauphine Marie-Antoinette, is now at Versailles.〔Inv. V 4132, gift of Florence Gould, 1965 (illustrated in ''Objets d'art: mélanges en l'honneur de Daniel Alcouffe'', 2004:273, fig. 1).〕 Macret also worked on occasion for the fashionable ''marchand-mercier'' Lazare Duvaux, for in the inventory compiled on Duvaux's death in 1758, Macret appears among the creditors: he was owed the considerable sum of 1169 ''livres''.〔Geoffrey de Bellaigue, ''The James A. de Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon Manor: Furniture, Clocks and Gilt Bronzes'' II, 1974:860; among other major creditors was the ''ébéniste'' Joseph Baumhauer.〕
Among his finest works〔"The finest specimen of Macret's work", according to Charles Packer, ''Paris Furniture by the Master Ébénistes'', 1956.〕 is a slant-front writing-desk in Louis XV style, lacquered red with raised gilded figures in Chinese style, from the Forsythe Wickes collection now at Boston Museum of Fine Arts. On several commodes and corner cabinets (''encoignures'') dating from the 1760s he employed tôle panels imitating Japanese lacquer.〔John Whitehead, ''The French Interior in the Eighteenth Century'', 1993:192; Alexandre Pradère, ''French Furniture Makers'', 1989:220f, figs.218-20.〕
Macret married Jeanne Foulliėre. Though he retired from active practice in 1787, he was still alive in 1796.〔Pierre Verlet, ''French furniture of the Eighteenth Century'', 1991.〕'
