SUITE DE QUATRE FAUTEUILS À DOSSIERS PLATS OCTOGONAUX
in beech wood, moulded and richly carved with interlacing and foliage. Back supports decorated with acanthus leaves.
Tapered legs with twisted flutes.
Stamped S. Brizard.
Louis XVI period, circa 1780.
Upholstered in red silk velvet, two with cushions.
H: 96 - W: 65 - D: 52 cm
H: 96 - W: 65 - D: 58 cm
Sulpice Brizard, carpenter, received master in 1761.
A shepherdess of the same model sold by the Parke Bernet Gallery, NY, November 8, 1957, n° 201, then Sotheby's London, December 12, 2002, n° 1041
Provenance
- Collection of the Marquis de Pomereu d'Aligre, Hôtel Pomereu, 64 avenue Foch, Paris
- Passed down through the family "One of its characteristics is the use of twisted fluted legs".
As skilful and delicate as he was ingenious, Sulpice
Brizard, according to Henry Havard, was a supplier to the Crown at the beginning of the reign of Louis XVI. Sensitive to the novelties of the style known as "à la grecque", he quickly adopted the new lines by reinterpreting them.
One of his characteristics is the use of feet with twisted flutes that we find on the chairs we present. We also owe him some original creations: concave crosspieces, heart-shaped backs and especially octagonal backs which he seems to have had the exclusivity.
