Georges Jacob was the leading menuisier (maker of chairs and other carved furniture) in Paris in the last quarter of the 18th century. These armchairs are executed in a light, refined interpretation of Neoclassicism. Jacob made several sets of chairs for Queen Marie Antoinette of France, which closely resemble this pair.
