Beschreibung
A pair of Restauration mahogany chaises or side chairs by Francois Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter (1770-1841) Circa 1820 Each with a panelled back, above a plain seat frame, on ring turned baluster front legs terminating in later ceramic castors, with square splayed rear legs, each stamped: 'IACOB' and with what appears to be the inventory number '876', also each branded with the princely crowned marque au fer for Louis Philippe as Duc d'Orleans, each: 48cm wide x 49cm deep x 89cm high, (18 1/2in wide x 19in deep x 35in high) (2) Footnotes: Provenance Property of a private UK collector. The marque au fer, which is branded upon both of the chaises comprising the offered lot, depicts a ducal coronet surmounting a princely cypher or monogram. This refers to Louis Philippe, but only in his capacity at that time as the Duc d'Orleans, before he reigned as King of France during the period 1830-1848. Some related seat furniture, marked with similar cyphers, were originally made for the Chateau de Bizy, whilst others come from Neuilly, so it is possible that these chairs also originate from one of these two historically significant sites. The 'Iacob' stamp impressed upon both of the present chairs is documented as being used by Jacob-Desmalter during the period 1813-25, D. Ledoux-Lebard, Le Mobilier Francais du XIX Siecle, 1989, Paris, pp.'s 268 & 330. Georges Jacob (1739-1814), renowned cabinet maker active during the late 18th century, sold his business in 1796 to his two sons, who then renamed the firm Jacob Freres. The Jacob brothers, Georges II (1768-1803) and Francois-Honore-George, produced furniture directly inspired by Greek, Etruscan and Roman antiquity following the fashionable Neoclassical taste of the period established by Charles Percier and Pierre Fontaine in their 1801 publication, Recueil des Decorations Interieures. Francois-Honore-Georges, who added Desmalter to his family surname in 1803, provided over 330 pieces for Napoleon including most importantly the imperial throne in advance of Napoleon's coronation, which took place the following year. Throughout the reign of Napoleon (1804-15), Jacob-Desmalter was the predominant and favoured cabinet maker to the Imperial Garde-Meuble, responsible for supplying furnishings at Fontainebleau, Grand Trianon, Saint Cloud, Rambouillet and of course the Tuileries.
