Unequivocally one of the most celebrated menuisiers of the 18th Century, Georges Jacob (maître in 1765) became chiefly known for the quality of execution and innovative nature of the plethora of seats he produced, most notably for the Crown. The present fauteuil is closely related to a large suite executed several years later by two of Georges's sons, Georges II and François-Honoré-Georges working as JACOB FRèRES RUE MESLéE (1796-1803). The latter suite was formerly in the collection of the New York financier, art collector and philanthropist William Salomon (1852-1919) until sold 'The Salomon Collection' sale, Mr. O. Bernet and Mr. H. H. Parke, American Art Association Inc, 4-6 January 1928, and, as in the present case, acquired by French & Co. Inc., NY.
