Aleksandrs-Žans Openords

Aleksandrs-Žans Openords (Alexandre-Jean Oppenordt, 1639 -.1715 ) - Holandiešu un Franču mēbeļnieks. Salīdzinoši maz zināms par Aleksandra-Žana Openorda dzīvi - talantīgs mēbeļnieks (ébéniste), kurš pārcēlās uz Franciju no Nīderlandes. Viņš pirmo reizi strādāja Parīzes rajonā Temple. Sākotnēji pazīstams kā ouvriers libres (brīvmeistars), kurš nav ģildes biedrs, bet var praktizēt savu amatu. 1679 gadā viņš naturalizējies, kā Francijas pilsonis, un drīz pēc tam viņš tika uzaicināts Luvrā strādāt, kā mēbeļnieks pie Luija XIV karaliskās rezidences. Openords izgatavo mēbeles dekorētas ar intarsijām no bruņurupuča čaulas un misiņa, kā arī akmeņu mozaīkām. Viņš arī specializējās parketa grīdu izgatavošanā. Viņa dēls Gilles-Marie Oppenord arī kļuva slavens dizainers un arhitekts.
