Jean Avisse (1723 – 1796) produced chairs, sofas, chaises and similar furniture in 18th century France.
Armchair by Jean Avisse, 1780-1785.
His chairs are elaborately decorated with natural images such as shells, flowers, and leaves. He stamped his work with the signature IAVISSE. Reproductions in his style are often called Avisse.
He was not very successful during his life. Twice he was forced into bankruptcy, first in 1769 and again in 1776. He died in Paris.
