Roentgen
German furniture designer and cabinetmaker. In 1750 he established a shop in Neuwied, near Cologne. The Rococo-style furniture he produced there was of outstanding quality and was often decorated with inlay work of ivory and other semiprecious materials. Much of his work was created for various German courts. His son David Roentgen (1743-1807), who succeeded him as head of the firm in 1772, was appointed cabinetmaker to Marie-Antoinette of France. Under his direction, the family workshop became famous for music boxes, clocks, and mechanical toys as well as for its fine furniture. The Roentgens' shop was perhaps the most successful firm of furniture production in the 18th cent.
