Pair of chairs
Mahogany and mahogany veneer
Pegged joints
Dimensions: H. 88 ; Seat height 45 ; W. 45.5 ; D. 35.5 (cm.)
Paris, circa 1800 - 1810
Decorative pair of chairs called "au bouclier d'amazone" or "à la pelta". Fine Parisian production in mahogany and mahogany veneer for the belts. They stand on four Etruscan-style legs. The chamfered uprights of the backrests are a sign of quality, bringing these chairs closer to the work of Pierre-Benoît Marcion, who produced similar models with sword-shaped front legs; as well as Jacob-Desmalter, whose similar model is preserved at the Mobilier National (see last photo).
A stylistically interesting model, which shows the diversity that antique-style borrowings could take on around 1800...
Condition report: seats fully restored. Assemblies revised, varnish cleaned. Horsehair seats on straps (antique), horsehair fabric, which few manufacturers still produce today. Matching trimmings. Accidents and old restorations.
