Georges Jacob and François-Honoré Georges Jacob used this stamp between 1803-13.
This model of the chair is first listed in the Petit Trianon in the 1839 inventory in the salon des aides de camp on the ground floor under the number 3307: 4 chaises acajou, pieds à balustre, couvertes en cannetallé vert, lézarde en soie assortie 20, soit 80 (Francs). They are not however listed in the 1835 inventory and were therefore probably moved there in between from the Imperial Garde-Meuble. Another pair from this set, property of The Chicago Art Institute of Chicago, one of which was stencilled PT 3308, was sold Sotheby's New York, 25 March 2000, lot 320. One of these chairs was stencilled Gd. T. 1922 and T. 1479 and has a paper label indicating that it was in the Cabinet de Topographie, Grand Trianon in 1855. The other is stencilled PT 3308 and T. 4198 for the Appartement de Dignitaire, no. 9., presumably at the Grand Trianon.
