Extensively carved, almost on the whole seat, with original patterns.
Highly attractive.

Catalogue Note
Jean-Baptiste Delaunay, reçu maître en 1764
Un fauteuil identique estampillé par Delaunay a été vendu chez Christie's New York le 29 avril 1992, lot 381. A la différence de nos fauteuils, les accotoirs de ce dernier étaient munis de manchette. Le décor particulièrement original de ce modèle pourrait avoir été inspiré du célèbre mobilier de salon livrés par Nicolas Heurtaut aux ducs de la Rochefoucauld et La Roche-Guyon, en partie vendu par Sotheby's Monaco, les 22 et 23 juin 1991, lot 538.
