Jean-Baptiste Lelarge III, Master in 1775
Low half-cabriolet armchair
Pegged joints
Dimensions: H. 95 ; W. 62 ; D. 57 ; Seat height 37 (cm.)
Paris, circa 1780

This armchair rests on fluted and filleted legs, ringed at the top. The waistband and armrests are finely molded and carved. The back is wide and slightly concave.
This chair is representative of the art of Parisian carpenters at the end of the Ancien Régime. It is a rare example of furniture that is not completely "à la reine", i.e. straight-backed, perhaps to match the shape of a circular piece?

Jean-Baptiste Lelarge III (1743-1802)
Received master carpenter's diploma on February 1, 1775. Son and grandson of carpenters bearing the same first name and also established on rue de Cléry, Jean-Baptiste III Lelarge produced Transitional and Louis XVI-style chairs of undeniable class. For the most part, Jean-Baptiste Lelarge's chairs are very good-looking: sturdy, without heaviness, rigorously constructed and impeccably assembled, they are adorned with simple moldings or fine, incisive carvings, well distributed and not overloaded.

Condition report: restorations to the feet, and minor accidents. Beautiful lacquer patina. Completely restored by our craftsman in the traditional way: joinery without play, seat and back with horsehair on straps. Superb Colony-style fabric.
