Everything about B Niste totally explained
Ébéniste is the French word for a
cabinetmaker, as
menuisier denotes a woodcarver or chairmaker. The English equivalent would be
ebonists, never commonly used. An ébéniste originally was one working in
ebony, a favoured luxury wood for mid-seventeenth century Parisian cabinets, in imitation of elite furniture being made in
Antwerp. Early Parisian ébénistes often came from the
Low Countries themselves: an outstanding example is
Pierre Golle, who worked at the
Manufactory of the Gobelins.
Ébénistes make case furniture, which may be
veneered or painted. From the mid-nineteenth century the two trades tended to be assembled under the single roof of a furnisher: chairs and other seat furniture had used veneering techniques formerly the guarded privilege of ébénistes since the relaxation of guild rules of the
Ancien Régime with the
French Revolution's abolition of guilds in 1791
