State of conservation: good
Built of oak completely finished in bois de rose veneer, the stand is composed of a rectangular top supported on an octagonal column with tripod feet on casters.
By means of rather complex mechanisms, it is possible to increase the height by half, tilt the top and transform it into a two-sided lectern/music stand with adjustable inclination.
We have little biographical information about Nicolas Grevenich: he was probably born in the Rhine area of Germany but lived and worked almost his whole life in Paris, where he was named maître in 1768.
Documentary sources reveal that he was still receiving important commissions from the royal Garde-meuble in 1791, especially for the Tuileries Palace. His workshop was still active during the Empire period.

Italian Carved Walnut Chairs with Leather Covers, Milan, circa 1750
Located in Milano, IT
Four carved walnut chairs with leather covers
Milan, circa 1750
They measure: 39.37” high, 18.30” to the seat, 21.65” deep x 19.29”
(100 cm high, 46.5 cm to the seat, 55 cm deep x 49 cm)
State of conservation:
- the leather covers are not original;
- some signs of use, especially on leather covers;
- the rocailles at the height of the backrests have lost part of the carved elements.
The four walnut chairs have a mixtilinear structure adorned with rocaille relief carvings; the legs are shaped and end with a curl. The backs and seats are padded and covered with impressed leather with figures and cartouche decorations from later production.
Around the mid-eighteenth century in Milan it was very popular to cover seats with impressed leather. Mutton or cowhide was used which, suitably tanned, was then worked with heated irons (hot decoration) or with carved wooden molds (cold decoration). These were impressed on the leather until obtaining a darker brown color. Our group of chairs...
