Georges JACOB (1739–1814) - Lot 243
Georges JACOB (1739–1814) An impressive pair of armchairs with flat backs, made of gilded wood richly carved with pearls, fleurons, and heart-shaped motifs. The armrests are scroll-shaped. They rest on tapered legs with fluted shafts topped with grained laurel leaves. Stamped G.Jacob. Louis XVI period. Upholstered in green silk velvet. H 93.5 W 64 D 55 cm (some touch-ups to the gilding) George Jacob was certified as a master cabinetmaker in 1765. This pair of armchairs features richly carved decoration that attests to the mastery of George Jacob, a supplier to the Royal Furniture Depot. This model is similar to a pair of chairs sold in Paris in 1983, featuring armrest supports adorned with acanthus leaves and pearls, as well as the same curved belt carved with heart-shaped motifs, pearls, and beaded fleurons.
