==Salon for the Hôtel de Tourolles==
The boiseries, still often dated in the mid-1760s, were discussed in the issue of ''L'Avant-coureur'' for 21 January 1761, and so must have been carried out about 1758–59.<ref>Eriksen 1974:298 and pl. 35</ref> The Hôtel in the Marais district remodelled for Claude-Charles-Dominique Tourolle survives (the rue d'Orléans is now the rue Charlot) but the salon's ''boiseries'' and chimneypieces were removed in the mid-nineteenth century to a house in the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré now in the possession of the [[Cercle Interallié]]. Round-arched mirrors over the chimneypieces and centering the long wall in a shallow recess are disposed in a system of stop-fluted Ionic pilasters. White marble draped caryatid therm figures support the chimneypiece's ''tablette''. There is a full architrave under a dentilled cornice. The white-and-gold ensemble would still have been fully in style in 1790.
