Catalogue Note

La forme très particulière des montants et du dossier se retrouve de manière encore plus accentuée sur une bergère Louis XVI illustrée dans M. Jarry, Le siège Français , 1973, pl. 183 et 185.  Une autre bergère, reproduite pl. 184 présente le même enroulement sur l'accotoir tandis que la ceinture est sculptée d'entrelacs.
