CIRCA 1800

With their ram’s head terminals and hoofed monopodia legs, this suite of furniture reflects the à l'antique taste popular in France from the very end of the eighteenth century and which eventually blossomed into the empire style under the reign of Napoleon. The most famous promoters of this fashion were the influential architect-designers Percier and Fontaine, whose designs were often executed by the most sought-after furniture makers of the time, such as members of the Jacob dynasty.
