Detail Introduction
Nicolas Leonard was born in Paris, on the 22th of January 1746, and was son of Nicolas Pierre and the oldest brother to F.X.. He began to work in the family workshop when he was only 10 years old, and continued to do so, at least until the death of his father in 1764. His life went through two phases: Thanks to his skills and contacts, he became well known and appreciated in the exclusive and affluent circles in Freemasonry, and he was therefore able to clime the social ladder in the years 1764-1789. In this period, he married twice. He married Catherine Landry, on the 21st of February 1767, with whom he had a son, Charles, who was later known as the bow maker "Tourte T". Shops |
