Lot Essay

Georges Jacob, maître in 1766.
The elegantly tapered legs en fuseau of this chair are identical to those found in a set of seat furniture made by Jacob in 1790 for the ‘pavillon chinois’ of Princesse Kinsky (1729-1794), rue Saint-Dominique, Paris. The model derives from a design by the architect Charles Percier (d. 1838; co-author with Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine (d. 1853) of Recueil de décorations intérieures, 1801), who supplied patterns of seat furniture to Georges Jacob in the ‘Etruscan’ manner at the end of the Ancien Régime.
