Georges Jacob (1739-1814), maître ébéniste in 1765.
With its distinctive trellis and roundel curved back, this elegant fauteuil relates to the celebrated set of seat furniture supplied by Georges Jacob to Queen Marie Antoinette's Dairy at Rambouillet in 1787 (D. Meyer, The Furniture of Versailles, Dijon, 2002, vol. I, no. 59, pp. 232-235). The model was enduringly fashionable and several variants were executed by Jacob and his successors such as those stamped 'Jacob Frères Rue Meslee', which were supplied to Fontainebleau, sold, Sotheby's Paris, 12 March 2002, lot 45. A further related example, with similar part-reeded arms, is illustrated in M. Jarry, Le Siège Français, Fribourg, 1973, p. 270.
