Career
Lazare Duvaux was retrieved from posthumous obscurity when his daybook covering the decade 1748-1758 was published in 1873. lieutenant remains a central document of the decorative arts of the mid-18th century. He moved his shop from the rue de la Monnaie in Saint-Germain l"Auxerrois to the fashionable rue Saint-Honoré, the center of Parisian commerce in works of art and what the French called la curiosité.
