"Although intended to furnish Marie-Antoinette\u2019s grand cabinet int\u00E9rieur at the ch\u00E2teau de Versailles during the winter months, the chair and the rest of the set were removed in 1783, when the grand cabinet int\u00E9rieur was redecorated and placed in the queen\u2019s billiard room on the floor above. Sold during the French Revolution, the entire set of furniture was acquired by the American statesman Gouverneur Morris, who served as minister of the United States in France from 1792 to 1794. The pieces were subsequently sent to Morrisania, Morris\u2019s country estate in the Bronx."@en . .
