Pair of graceful chairs in lacquered and molded wood, with rounded backbands. Our chairs are typical of the "Etruscan" style in vogue during the Directoire period. Parisian work from the late 18th century, circa 1790-1800.
The lines are particularly elegant in this work, which can be compared to the work of Georges Jacob. Typical of his work, we find the belt that narrows at the back and the rounded front jambs. Without a stamp, it is difficult to attribute this model with certainty: our chairs may therefore be the work of Georges Jacob, or his talented cousin Henri Jacob, or a good follower working in Jacob's style.
Very good condition, used reinforcements under the belt, seats relacquered and with patina, new satin cover with Lelièvre lines.
