- Lot Description
Raised on casters.
38 1/4 x 26 x 21 in., seat height 18 1/2 in.
Christie's catalog note: The impressive à l'antique design of this fauteuil de bureau reflects the renewed interest in the designs of classical antiquity in the Empire period, promoted by Charles Percier and Pierre-François-Léonard through their influential Receuil des Décorations Intérieures, first published in full in 1812.
This model can possibly be attributed to Henri Jacob (d. 1824), maître in 1779, cousin of his famous confrère Georges Jacob, on the basis of an identical apparently signed model by him illustrated in M. Beurdeley, Jacob et son Temps, Saint-Rémy-en-l'Eau, 2002, p. 80.Condition
In good overall condition, with scattered minor nicks, gouges and scuffing throughout. A few small age splits to the top rail. Scattered small nicks and expected wear to the legs. Reptile upholstery in good overall condition. Structurally sound.
Notwithstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.
