Georges Jacob, maître in 1765.

The form and decoration of these canapes relates very closely to a pair of Iauteuils a la reine by George Jacob illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français Du XVIIIe Siècle, 1989, p.419. Both the fauteuil and the canapes have arched rounded crestrails carved with ribbon twists and centered by a bow-knot and similarly carved bowed seatrails, and turned tapering fluted legs.
