Superb pair of wide cabinet armchairs in carved mahogany, mahogany veneer and black patinated beech.
The back has a wide openwork band decorated with finely carved latticework.
Lion-headed armrests, hocked front legs and saber-shaped back legs.
The openwork composition of the backrest is strictly identical to that of a set delivered by Jacob Frères, unstamped, in 1800 for the Tuileries Palace, then installed in 1807 at Fontainebleau in a dining room in the princes' apartment.
