Not many biographical facts have been passed down to us about Sulpice Brizard (born ca.1735), who was admitted as a master craftsman (maître) in 1762. We do know that he was based on the rue de Cléry, the hub in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris where most carpenters (menuisiers) were based, and that he married the daughter of another dynasty of fine carpenters, Marie-Geneviève Meunier. He is known for elegant pieces in the Louis XVI style, including a suite of armchairs that can be seen in room 617 of the Louvre (OA 6550). A pair of canapés bearing his stamp sold recently at Sotheby's Paris, 15 November 2023, lot 148, while a suite of four chairs also stamped for Brizard from the collection of Madame Nelia Barletta de Cates sold for €111,625 at Christie's Paris, 18 March 2003, lot 381.
