Set of Four Mahogany Armchairs in the Manner of Henri Jacob, circa 1795

About the Item

A set of four Mahogany armchairs or Fauteuils, in the manner of Henri Jacob (1753-1824, maitre 1779), with a rectangular plat back, its top wrapped, with flat armrests with rosettes supported by balustrades that are connected with the tapering balustrade legs. The posterior saber legs extend in Etruscan style. The chairs are made of solid mahogany and its French polished surface brings forth the depth of its colour and beauty of its grain. The set of chairs is newly upholstered with a high quality green satin by Manuel Canovas (Nura 4784-43). The mahogany together with the vivid green satin can be a striking feature in any interior, a bold colour scheme was in fashion during the Empire period, bright and intense colors were applied in upholstery as well as in draperies and carpeting. A further pair of identical armchairs upholstered with the same green satin is available on 1stdibs.
