Catalogue Note
Georges Jacob, menuisier reçu maître en 1765
D'un modèle très original, ces consoles présentent un ornement caractéristique de la production de Georges Jacob, à savoir les pieds en console. Bien que Jacob y ait eu plus souvent recours dans la conception de ses sièges (voir le lot précédent), on retrouve des pieds similaires sur certaines consoles exécutées dans son atelier, notamment celle commandée en 1776 par la princesse de Conti pour le salon de son hôtel de la rue Saint-Dominique (illustrée dans Michel Beurdeley, Jacob et son temps, 2002, p.27).
