Georges Jacob, maître in 1765
This fauteuil forms part of the celebrated suite, of which three other elements are recorded:
Two bergères, probably also transformed from fauteuils and covered with Beauvais tapestry, previously in the collections of Colonel T. Preston Morley and Neumann, are now in the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (n.inv. 588A/B, illustrated in Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, Catalogue, Lisbon 1982, p. 311, fig. 683). The Gulbenkian also displays a sofa, a marquise and a fauteuil from the same suite, unstamped, which came from the Wildenstein Collection (n.inv.283A/B/C, illustrated in op. cit, p. 314, figs. 697,698,699).
A fauteuil, transformed into a bergère, was sold in Paris, Hôtel Drouot, Maître Beaussant, 29 March 1991, lot 197, illustrated.
A closely related fauteuil with arched toprail is in the Elysée Palace, Paris, while a fauteuil from the Williamson Collection, with similar carved ornaments but with a caned back was exhibited in 1888 in the mobilier national in Paris and is now in the Musée du Louvre
