Georges Jacob, maître in 1765, supplied a suite of twenty closely related chairs à dossier lyre for the salle à manger of Marie-Antoinette at the Hameau, Trianon (ill. C. Baulez, Versailles, deux Siècles d'histoire de l'art, Paris, 2007, pp.233-4). A chair of this celebrated model is illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIè Siècle, Paris, 1989, p. 425, fig. A, whilst a pair of voyeuses by Jacob was supplied to Jean-Baptiste Tourteau de Septeuil, premier Valet de Chambre du Roi from 1779 to 1792, and sold Christie's Monaco, 18 June 1989, lot 188.
