About this work

Georges Jacob was the leading menuisier (maker of chairs and other carved furniture) in Paris in the last quarter of the 18th century. These armchairs are executed in a light, refined interpretation of Neoclassicism. Jacob made several sets of chairs for Queen Marie Antoinette of France, which closely resemble this pair.
