Price Upon Request - Pair of Consulat Ebony-Inlaid Birchwood Armchairs Stamped Jacob FrèresBy Jacob Freres Rue MesléeLocated in Kittery Point, METhe curved pierced back with a palmette-inlaid shaped splat terminating in dolphin supports raised on an upholstered seat, on front carved joined hairy animal legs (pieds de bîches) and hoof feet and back sabre legs; stamped: JACOB FRERES RUE MESLEE under the front rail.
