Lot Essay

JACOB.D. R.MESLEE is the stamped used by Georges Jacob (1739 - 1814) and his son François-Honor-Georges (1770 - 1841) between 1803 and 1813, when the firm was called Jacob-Desmalter et Cie. After the death of his brother Georges II in 1803, with whom he was associated from 1796 producing furniture stamped JACOB.FRERES.RUE.MESLEE, François-Honoré-Georges Jacob worked with his father mainly for the Bonaparte family and was the main supplier to the Garde-meuble. This short but prosperous association went bankrupt in 1813.
