About the Item

Sublime pair of armchairs and a chair stamped Henri Jacob, round tapered legs, finely fluted, sculpted backs inside. The wood has been entirely restored and the seats are covered with a sublime leather from Courrèges. Period : Louis XVI Dimensions : H : 94 x W : 43 x D :43cm. But who is Henri Jacob? Henri Jacob was the first cousin of the famous cabinetmaker Georges Jacob. He obtained his master's degree in cabinetmaking in 1779 and set up shop in the rue de Bourbon-Villeneuve before moving in 1799 and establishing his workshop in the rue de l'Échiquier.  He ceased his activity in 1806.  Thanks to his talent and the quality and rarity of his works compared to the large number of pieces made by his famous cousin Georges, he quickly became very well known.  His production of chairs earned him numerous commissions from the most prestigious figures of the time. As early as 1785, Henri Jacob received orders from the Court and made Louis XVI chairs, classical in gilded wood. His most important production is mainly made up of Directoire and Consulat chairs, in mahogany, with very fine carvings.  Henri Jacob left behind some beautiful creations of very high quality. His establishment disappeared at the beginning of the Empire.

  • Authentic Pair of French Armchair, Louis XVI Period, 1775-1790
    Located in Paris, France
    These authentic Louis XVI period armchairs, original and authentic, seduced me by their modernity. Very rare with their original cream lacquer, flat and square back "à la Reine", with their strict armrests and highly visible assembly, straight legs turned into quivers in the shape of a column tapered down and fluted. The foot ends in a dice that rests on the ground, while the top is cubic is decorated with a circular molding pattern quite rare contrary to the rosette pattern often used for copies - The queen chairs have perfect proportions in their elegant silhouette. In general, I am only interested in design and contemporary pieces, but in the course of my peregrinations I sometimes come across pieces that do not leave me indifferent. As for the lyres chairs, the baccarat chandelier and the large golden mirror...
