Charles-Joseph Dufour was born in 1740. Master on December 3, 1759, he worked until 1769 before settling in Faubourg Saint-Antoine. He is a specialist in Louis XV chests of drawers which he particularly likes. He notably received orders from merchants. One of his chests of drawers appeared in the old Demachy collection. He also acted as an expert during the succession of Joseph Baumhauer, the King's favored cabinetmaker.

18th century period, between 1759 and 1780.
