拍品专文

A celebrated and prolific menuisier, Delanois produced a plethora of seats, a large portion of which was commissioned through marchands-merciers, the Comte d'Artois (future King Charles X, 1824-1830), the prince de Condé, and King Stanislas II of Poland. The majority of his commissions were recorded in his Livre des Ouvrages et Fournitures de Meubles faits à credit (1761-1777) which is now in the Paris Archives. A related canapé or so called ottomane by Delanois, formerly in the collection of the Baron d'Etchegoyen, Paris, is illustrated in S. Eriksen, Louis Delanois, Menuisier en Sièges (1731-1792), Paris, 1968, pl. XX-XXI.
