A maker in Tours, 1785. He was a pupil of Guersan in Paris, but his work is very dissimilar; he used a brown varnish of poor quality.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Schüler von Guersan, bei dem er jedoch nicht viel gelernt zu haben scheint;
seine Arbeit ist mittelmässig und sein (brauner) Lack geradezu schlecht; manchmal
zeigen seine Decken jedoch schönes Holz. Er arbeitete zuerst in Paris und
ging um 1780 nach Tours.
