Georges Jacob, (born July 6, 1739, Cheny, Fr.—died July 5, 1814, Paris), founder of a long line of French furniture makers. He was among the first cabinetmakers in France to use mahogany extensively and excelled at carved wood furniture.
He developed a reputation for producing inventive designs for chairs, beds, and screens, carved with such motifs as twisted ribbons, guilloches, beading, and fluting.
Jacob's reputation grew quickly, eventually spreading outside France the future King George IV of England, Gustavus III of Sweden, Tsar Alexander I of Russia, Charles IV of Spain, and several German princes all ordered furniture from him.
