拍品专文

With its incurving crestrail and finely-carved grimacing lion's masks terminals, this fauteuil de bureau is reminiscent of the oeuvre of the Jacob dynasty and almost certainly based on designs by Charles Percier (1764-1838) and Pierre-Leonard Fontaine (1762-1853) in their Recueil de Decorations Interieures published in Paris in 1801.
