Lot Essay

These bergeres, with their elegantly-moulded and serpentined frames in the Louis XV style of the 1760's, bear the brand adopted by Jean-Jacques Pothier when elected a maitre menuisier in 1750. Amongst seat-furniture of this popular pattern executed by the celebrated Parisian menuisier of Rue de Bourbon-Villeneuve are fauteuils en cabriolet illustrated in P.Kjellberg Le Mobilier Francais du XVIII Siecle, 1989, p.672
