[Label text by Peter Thornton] Four chairs French (Paris); about 1785 Stamped 'G. Jacob' with a fleur-de-lys Carved and gilt beechwood; modern upholstery By the eminent chairmaker Georges Jacob who provided much furniture for the French royal household. These chairs were probably made for some luxurious closet belonging to a lady: the cupids' bows, quivers of arrows and wreaths of flowers would have made them particularly appropriate for such a setting at that period. Jones Collection Museum No. 1062 to C-1882 [1980]

  • Chair of carved and gilt walnut, one of a set of four chairs and two armchairs, carved decoration including cupid's bows with quivers of arrows, and wreaths of flowers. On this chair, in the trophy on the top rail, the single arrow points to the left, and the left side of the wreath lies behind the trophy (as on 1062-1882 and in reverse to 1062B-1882). (en)
  • This chair (one of a set of four and two armchairs) bears the stamp of the most fashionable Paris chair-maker of the late 18th century, Georges Jacob. One of his principal patrons was Louis XVI's queen, Marie-Antoinette, and he supplied her with several sets similar to this one in the 1780s, for various French royal palaces. The history of the present set is not known, but the carved decoration - including Cupid's bows with quivers of arrows, and wreaths of flowers -- suggests that it was made for a lady's bedroom or boudoir. The upholstery dates from the 1960s (although the webbing under the seat may be original), but its square profile is based on the style of upholstery fashionable in late 18th-century Paris. (en)
