Georges Jacob, maître in 1765.

With its pieds en console, chamfered seat-rails and refined carved decoration, this elegant fauteuil is characteristic of the oeuvre of the celebrated menuisier Georges Jacob (1739-1814). Identical legs often feature on pieces stamped by Jacob including those illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIe siècle, Paris, 2002, p. 462. A pair of fauteuils of identical design and originally from the same suite is illustrated in P. Verlet, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIè Siècle, 1989, pp. 412-3. Another similar pair, with moulded rails and attributed to Jacob, is in the collection of the Musée Carnavalet, Paris (ill. Forray-Carlier, Le Mobilier du Musée Carnavalet, Paris, 2000, pp. 192-3).
