Lot Essay

These chenets are after a design attributed to Lambert-Sigisbert Adam. A pair of the same model are in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (F.J.B. Watson, The Wrightsman Collection, New York, 1966, vol. II, p. 376), while a further pair was bequeathed to the Musée du Louvre by Ren Fribourg in 1963.
