Lot Essay

Louis Delanois, maître in 1761

In the ledgers of Delanois the distinctive arched rounded backs of these fauteuils à la Reine are often listed as 'à ceintre rond. They appear in the livres de comptes between 1767 and 1769 and in 1771, and cost between 8 and 16 livres each (S. Eriksen, Louis Delanois, Paris, 1968, p. 30 and Pl. V).
