Jean-Joseph Chapuis Rare Pair of Empire parcel-gilt japanned Fauteuils
By Jean Joseph Chapuis
Located in Worpswede / Bremen, DE
Despite his long life, very little is known about the general production of menuisier (chairmaker) Jean-Joseph Chapuis and even less about his use of bent laminates, which must be viewed as the most advanced of its kind until the appearance of Michael Thonet’s work of the 1830s. The profound reverence for the classical world in enlightened circles in early nine-teenth-century Europe and the United States often resulted in the archaeological resurrection of the art, architecture, and design of ancient Greece and Rome. No chair employing the innovative technique of bending wood more boldly expresses this allegiance to the past than this armchair painted in le style antique and based on the ancient Roman sella curulis (folding stool); With a curved toprail decorated with putti supporting a medaillion and flanked by scrolling acanthus, the arms with ball finials, above a caned seat, on curved supports terminating in foliate gilt-metal sabots. This merger of technological innovation with fashionable aesthetics parallels the work of the American Samuel Gragg...

Belgian Empire Carved Fruitwood Set of Four Chairs by Jean-Joseph Chapuis
By Jean Joseph Chapuis
Located in Shippensburg, PA
An exquisite and finely crafted chair set en suite consisting of two arm chairs and two side chairs, they are delicate in profile and precise in workmanship. The crisp central stamp to the reverse of the seat rail reads CHAPUIS, the marking of Jean-Joseph Chapuis (French/Belgian, 1765-1864), an important Belgian ebenisté and menuisier. Born in Belgium in 1765, Chapuis trained in Paris and achieved the title of master Ebenisté, allowing him to stamp his work. He returned to his hometown and set up shop in circa 1795, where he continued to produce work through 1830. His output through the first quarter of the 19th century was considerable and the quality of his work is invariably excellent. He is credited with some of the earliest known steam-bending and lamination techniques as a menuisier (chair-maker). The body of his work was heavily influenced by the Classical objects of Ancient Greece and Rome and included a full range of objects from tables, consoles, chairs, chests and desks executed in the Empire taste. When the first books on French...
