Claude I Sené, maître in 1743.
Claude I Sené made seat furniture almost exclusively in the Louis XV style, his Transitional and Louis XVI style production being extremely rare and his console tables rarer yet; one of the few others known, a grey-painted early Louis XVI model, was sold Christie's Monaco, 12 December 1999, lot 868 (FFr. 218,500). In mass and choice of ornament, laurel leaves to the frieze, pendant laurel swags beneath, and large strung piasters to the bold curved leg, the consoles on offer epitomise the goût grec, but the splayed half-oval form of the frieze is Sené's own invention.
The production of consoles by menuisiers en sièges is rare but not unknown, Georges Jacob, Louis Delanois, and Jean-Baptiste Boulard being among the leading chairmakers who successfully did both.
