Foreigners like the king of Poland and the duke of Dorset[2] also bought furniture from Delanois, whose manuscript account book survives in the . His attempts, after selling off his furniture business in 1777,[3] to extend his business into the timber trade and property speculation, however, resulted in bankruptcy by 1789.
Georges Jacob was probably journeyman for three years with Delanois in the 1760s.
