rdfs:label: 1805~, Paris
rdfs:comment: Jacob-Desmalter was the largest and most fashionable supplier of furniture in Paris from about 1800 to 1820. The firm certainly made this stool, and its pair, although neither bears their stamped mark. A hand-written paper label inside one of the long seat rails is inscribed with the name of the client, Marshal Ney, and the name of the room for which it was provided, the Petit Salon. Jacob-Desmalter is the only maker known to have used this form of labelling. The seat rails of the stool have been replaced at some time and it is likely that the firm's stamped mark was lost at that time. Marshal Ney (1769–1815) was a celebrated military hero in the Napoleonic army. After Napoleon was crowned as emperor in 1804, he was keen to establish his marshals as part of his imperial court. He arranged suitable marriages for several of them. Ney's wife, whose mother had been one of Queen Marie Antoinette's ladies-in-waiting before the French Revolution of 1789, was particularly successful in helping her husband to consolidate his position. In March 1805 they acquired a grand Paris house, the Hôtel de Saisseval, and immediately began to decorate and furnish it, using the firm of Jacob-Desmalter. The Petit Salon was one of the more simply decorated rooms in the house, with seat furniture in mahogany. This was in contrast to the giltwood used in the Salon Vert and other, grander rooms. X-framed stool, of mahogany, the frame carved with lion heads and feet, parcel gilt, the stretchers of stained beechwood, the seat with renewed upholster in beige silk satin, edged with a woven braid. An X-frame stool in mahogany and giltwood, upholstered in beige silk satin, edged with a woven braid. The members of the X-frame are of rectangular section, the feet carved as formalised lion paws with acanthus frond above, all gilded. At the top the supports are carved with lion heads forming hand rests, with acanthus below (neither heads nor acanthus gilded). At the crossings, the frame is set with a gilt-brass patera (rosette).and the frame is set and strengthened on the outer edges of the crossing with giltwood inserts, carved in a fan motif. The cross stretcher is turned in a double baluster. The seat is upholstered on a structural frame of beech, the visible edges veneered in mahogany (the seat rails have bee renewed). The upholstery has been renewed in the middle of the 20th century and is now covered in beige silk satin with an edge-braiding woven with formalised foliage in browns and beiges. Underneath the upholstery shows three broad strips of buckramised hessian, sewn together at the edges. It is not possible to see whether there is webbing above this or whether this acts as the webbing. Large metal struts under the crossings may be an original strengthening or an early mend. One arm of the X on the lable side has fractured and been mended. The underside of the crossing show 4 dowels on each side and the fan-shaped inserts (lotus leaves) show disturbance. The stretcher has been re-set and both ends show traces of glue. STOOL W.4a-1987 'American and European Art and Design 1800-1900' One of a pair, this stool was formerly in the possession of Marshal Ney (1769-1815), one of Napoleon's leading generals. It later belonged to Lord Stuart de Rothesay (!779-1845). The form is derived from the ancient Roman sella curulis, or magistrate's chair. It is possible that the stool may be earlier than 1803, in which case Georges II Jacob (1768-1803) should be credited as manufacturer instead of his father: the Jacob brothers supplied similar stools to the Tuileries in 1779 to 1800.
