Underneath this chair are all the stencilled and inked inventory marks that should connect it with a set of chairs supplied to Napoleon I at the Palais des Tuileries in Paris between 1799 and 1803. In fact the chair is a fake. The faker has taken the frame of a genuine chair from this set and decorated it in a much grander fashion. The foot mounts, for instance, were designed for a table, and close inspection of the sides of the front legs shows that they have had to be built out to make them thick enough to fit the mounts.

The chair is stamped 'JACOB FRERES RUE MESLEE' (the firm used this stamp from 1796 to 1803) and 'PLS DES TUILES', for the Palais des Tuileries. It also bears a stencilled number 27463, referring to its removal to the Garde-Meuble, the national furniture repository, from Maréchal Berthier's rooms at the Château de Saint Cloud. The presence of sphinxes may indicate the influence of Napoleon's Egyptian campaign of 1798. [1987-2006]
Armchair
Jacob Freres
Manufacturer
French: 1800-1803
Mahogany with ormolu mounts, modern upholstery
This elaborate chair bears the stamp of Jacob Freres, the most celebrated French cabinet makers of their day. There are several other pieces of their furniture in this gallery. It bears inventory marks indicating that it was made for the Tuileries and was at St Cloud by the 1820s. Jacob supplied chairs for Napoleon's apartments at the Tuileries in 1800. [pre 1999] (en)
- Archair of mahogany with gilt-bronze mounts, the arm supports as winged sphinxes. This chair is stamped by Jacob Fréres and is stencilled underneath with the inventory marks of the Palais de Tuileries and the number 27463, which refers to its removal to the Garde-Meuble in 1826 from Chateau de St. Cloud. Though the inventory marks are genuine, the chair itself is a fake, built on the carcase of a simpler chair supplied by Jacob Fréres in 1802-3. The legs have clearly been thickened to take foot mounts that elsewhere are only used by Jacob for tables. (en)
