When were the framer and gilder Vitaux, Toulouse, France active?

I'm posting this for a colleague in Denmark:

On the back of a probably Dutch or French late 17th or 18th century painting
signed "D. oudrie(?)" showing ‘A Dog Fighting Cats’ we on the very loosely
woven canvas (still on its original stretcher) found  the impression of a
stamp with the form of a flat oval.

Inside the flat, horizontally positioned oval a text in capitals is found
which reads:

VITAUX
ENCADREUR
ET DOREUR
TOULOISE

Can anyone help identifying the framer from Toulouse, when he was active and
if his stamp was found on other canvases? If so it would help us greatly in
tracing the paintings whereabouts and place it in time.

Please send reply to either
Karin Lykke, Conservator of paintings,
Kobbelvangsvej 11A,
3630 Jaegerspris,
Denmark,
fax: +4547501040,
or return an e-mail to me: Jørgen Wadum, Chief Conservator, Royal Cabinet of
