A pair of cabriolet armchairs attributed to Georges Jacob, Louis XVI period, 18th century HEIGHT 93 - WIDTH 61 - DEPTH 52,50 CM - H. 6,6 - W. 24 - D. 20,7 IN. Georges Jacob (1739-1814) established himself as the grand master of the seat in the 18th century. He received his master's degree on September 4, 1765, and from the reign of Louis XV to the Consulate, he produced seating in all styles. He established himself as the great innovator of Neoclassicism. The tapered fluted legs, the rose-ornamented connecting thimble and the wide acanthus-leaf arm brackets are representative of his style under Louis XVI. The ingenuity of his designs and the quality of his workmanship made him the supplier to the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne. Indeed, Marie-Antoinette called on his virtuosity for the Treillage room at the Petit Trianon, as well as for the châteaux of Fontainebleau, Rambouillet, Saint-Cloud and Versailles. His prestigious clientele included members of the royal family such as Monsieur, the King's brother and Comte de Provence, for whom he became ordinary carpenter; the Comte d'Artois, Louis XVI's second brother; and Madame Élisabeth, his sister. In addition to his Louis XVI chairs, Georges Jacob was a leading figure in Neoclassicism, creating pieces for the painter Jacques-Louis David, inspired by the excavations at Herculaneum and Pompeii, as depicted in the master's paintings. This association enabled Georges Jacob to continue his production after the fall of the Monarchy.
