About the Item

François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter (French, 1770-1841) The sideboard has a white marble top, with two plain supports at the back and two richly sculpted monopodia at the front, resting on a rectangular base. A monopodium is a decorative support formed from the head and leg of an animal, usually a lion, as in this case. Roman prototypes (1st century BCE) have been found at Pompeii, for example. Central drawer beneath the top. + IACOB stamped on right and left beneath the top. François-Honoré-Georges Jacob, better known as Jacob-Desmalter (1770-1841), ran one of the most prosperous and influential furniture workshops in Paris from 1796 to 1825. He was the son of the master chair-maker Georges Jacob (1739-1814), who worked in the Louis XVI and Directoire styles and carried out many royal commissions. In 1796 Georges Jacob retired and Jacob-Desmalter took over the family workshop in the rue Meslée in partnership with his older brother Georges (1768-1803), concentrating on the production of veneered case-pieces (ébénisterie) and turned and carved seat furniture (menuiserie). When his brother died just a few years later, Jacob-Desmalter’s father returned to the company, which soon became one of the largest furniture workshops in Paris. Most of the furniture produced by Jacob-Desmalter et Cie was in the Empire style, with mahogany veneers and gilt-bronze mounts. The design of seat furniture was inspired by chairs and thrones of Antiquity, recognizable in details from bas-reliefs and Greek vases. Jacob-Desmalter became a principal supplier of furniture to the Emperor and he also received orders from Pauline Borghese, Napoleon’s sister in Rome, and the Empresses Joséphine and Marie Louise, for whom he produced numerous pieces for the châteaux of Malmaison and Compiègne, the Tuileries Palace, and other imperial residences. The company was greatly dependent on orders from Napoleon and in 1813, with imperial debts mounting as the Napoleonic Empire destabilized, the firm went bankrupt. Jacob-Desmalter managed to resurrect the company, however, and after 1815 commissions picked up again. He continued to run the company until his son, Georges-Alphonse, succeeded him in 1825. Jacob-Desmalter’s list of clients reflects the turbulent spirit of the times: the royal family, the leaders of the French Revolution, the Directoire, the Napoleonic Empire and the Restoration.
