A furniture carpenter, noël-toussaint porrot was received master in paris in 1761. He settled on rue du pont-aux-choux where he practised for more than twenty-five years. The gilding painter desfontaines contributed to the embellishment of his works. He specializes in seats and is particularly fond of small convertible armchairs in the louis XV style. He also produced louis XVI seats, with various shapes. Overall, all his furniture was well proportioned, beautifully carved but without much originality. His mark was noted on two small armchairs with hectic contours and a beautiful louis XVI seat, decorated with pearls and rows of piastres.
