Charles Topino, maître in 1773.

Charles Topino (d. 1803), of the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine specialized in light, delicate furniture often enriched with marquetry panels of flowers or trompe l'oeil style still lives inspired by borders of Chinese screens. He was employed as a specialist marqueteur by several marchands-merciers as well as his fellow ébènistes including Pioniez, Nicolas Petit and Lonard Boudin.
