Étienne Avril

Étienne Avril (1748-1791) was a French furniture designer, or ébéniste.

[2] As an ébéniste, Avril mostly designed rectangular mahogany panels, framed by bronze.

[3] For example, he added two nymphs made of bisque to a wardrobe he designed for the Palace of Fontainebleau.

[2] Other notable pieces of furniture include a marquetry desk with a glass door for the Mirault family, and a mahogany guéridons with leg made of gilded bronze for the Sené family.

[2] Avril resided on the rue de Charenton in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine of Paris.
