Jean-Jacques Pothier was working in France throughout the reigns of both Louis XV and Louis XVI, and his work reflects the characteristics of the rococo and neoclassical taste during each period. He became a maître-menuisier in 1750. Two related pairs of bergeres were in the collection of Sir Archibald Sterling of Keir.
