Lot Essay

This pair of fauteuils relate closely to a suite of chaises supplied in 1771 by Louis Delanois (maître in 1761) for the Salon du roi of Madame du Barry's Pavillon de Louveciennes and with the exception of the arms the design is identical. A pair of chaises from the set by Delanois formerly in the collection of Arturo Lopez Willshaw were sold Christie's London, 12 December 2002, lot 15 (£732,650).
