Georges Jacob and François-Honoré Georges Jacob used this stamp between 1803-13.

The general shape of the feet is very similar to those of four pairs of tabourets de pieds supplied to Napoleon at the Grand Trianon and remain there to this day: one pair supplied for the Salon de L'Empereur by Jacob-Desmalter on 20 August 1810, to designs supplied by the Imperial Garde-Meuble; a pair supplied by Jacob-Desmalter to the Cabinet du Secretaire on 20 April 1810; a pair supplied to the Chambre de l'Empereur on 24 August 1810; and a pair supplied by Jacob-Desmalter to the Salon du Dejeun on 20 August 1810; though none is carved to the upper section of the foot or the rails as in the case of the present pair (D. Ledoux-Lebard, Le Grand Trianon - Meubles et Objets d'Art, Pari s, 1975, pp. 106, 141, 160, 170).
