A SET OF SIX FOLDING CHAIRS AND SIX FOLDING ARMCHAIRS made of richly carved wood, lacquered in white and gold, decorated with ribboned flutes, flowers and palmettes.
The straight belt with rosette connectors rests on four sabre feet.
Stamped Jacob Frères, rue Meslée.
Directoire period.
Blue satin upholstery with yellow decoration of a swan-necked urn inscribed in a crown.
Armchair:
H: 97 - W: 63 - D: 66 cm
Chair:

Missing gilding.
The stamp Jacob Frères rue Meslée was used by François-Honoré-Georges and
Georges II Jacob between 1796 and 1803.
Illustrious representatives of the Consulate and Empire style, the Jacob brothers were precursors in the field of furniture. With the help of ornamentalists such as Percier and Fontaine, Krafft and Ransonnette, they created a style that met the political requirements of the new regime by referring to antique models adapted to contemporary needs. Their production is composed of powerful, elegant and rigorous lines and an iconographic repertoire drawn from antiquity.
