Stately seating furniture with finely moulured frames, without upholstery. One stamp N.q. FOLIOT. Damage caused by previous insect infestation; a few instances of renewed damage to the frame; two wrought-iron bolts each for securing the back upholstery are still present. Height 102, width 75, seat depth 57 cm. Paris, attributed to Nicolas Quinibert Foliot (1706–1776). The Foliot family produced three generations of renowned menuisiers – craftsmen who specialised in carving picture frames for the royal galleries, as well as in the production of frames for the finest seating furniture. Nicolas Quinibert Foliot was awarded his master’s certificate in 1729 and became a royal supplier to the palaces of Versailles, Trianon, Fontainebleau, Compiègne, etc. His seating furniture can be found outside France in various major collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Waddesdon Manor. Literature For Foliot see Kjellberg, Le mobilier français du XVIII siècle, Paris 2008, p. 361.
