Pierre-Antoine Bellangé (1757–1827) was one of the important French/Paris ménusiers of the early 19th century who specialized in creating elaborate seating. Bellangé held an eminent position among the French representatives of the decorative arts. He gained his master craftsman title on October 24, 1788. Among his work from this time were four chairs in mahogany described as being "of the Gothic type" that he created for Count Esterhazy.

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...Category
