This is an #indenture contract for 15 year old François Chailleau, a resident of a NYC almshouse, to learn the Art, Trade, and Mystery of Cabinet Making for six years. He agreed to work with the incredible Honoré Lannuier on 07/26/1809. If you can zoom, it’s quite a read. No fornication or matrimony, for example, shall be committed during this six years. #cabinetmaker #empirestyle #directoirestyle #lannuier https://www.instagram.com/p/B5jo9XuAoR1/?igshid=lgzdy61tmy7i
