Description

Property of a Lady


A Set of Four Louis XVI Carved Giltwood Fauteuils by Nadal, Circa 1775


stamped J. Nadal, one also carved on the back


Jean-René Nadal (b. 1733), maître in 1756


height 44 ¾ in.

114 cm

The fully and beautifully carved back of one these fauteuils suggests that it was intended to be a free-standing chair, while the others in this suite were to be placed against the wall. Chairs in the eighteenth-century were considered movable as they shifted positions throughout the day to accommodate the various and changing activities and social groupings of the domestic sphere.
