Maxime Secretant established a workshop producing fine quality furniture in the eighteenth century style at 74 rue Amelot, Paris. For some time he worked in association with his half-brother Leon Duval, who had been an apprentice with Gervais Durand, the well known ébéniste.
It is exceptionally rare to find a piece of signed furniture by Secretant.
