Condition
Illustration is accurate.
Good overall condition, without any cover.
Construction is sound and sturdy; the seat rail has been reinforced with wooden blocks.
As said in the catalogue, the chair has been regilt: small chips to the gilding in places revealing white gesso underneath, especially on the backrest edges.
Sophisticated and refined carving, extremely close to Delanois' production; model similar to seats delivered for Madame Du Barry.

Catalogue Note
Bien que non estampillée, cette chaise présente toutes les caractéristiques de l'oeuvre de Louis Delanois aux alentours de 1770. La sculpture d'une exceptionnelle qualité, à feuilles de chêne et glands, semble indiquer un commanditaire masculin, mais nous n'excluons pas une commande de Madame Du Barry pour les appartements de Louis XV à Louveciennes. En outre, on remarque des chaises d'un dessin similaire sur la célèbre gouache de J.M. Moreau le Jeune (musée du Louvre) figurant le souper donné en l'honneur du roi par la favorite, toujours à Louveciennes, le 2 septembre 1771.
