Daniel de Loose established himself on rue du Faubourg Saint Antoine where he produced a varied and high-quality output, notably geometric marquetry, as can be seen on a secretary presented for sale in Paris in 1988, illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le mobilier français du XVIIIe siècle, Paris, 1989, p.241. A drop-front secretary with the same geometric decoration, the same rosettes at the corners but without the apron was sold at Agutte, Neuilly sur Seine, on 5 November 2025, lot 89.
