Catalogue Note
Georges Jacob, menuisier reçu maître en 1765
La silhouette générale de ces sièges, à l'exception des pieds antérieurs, est à rapprocher de ceux également livrés par Georges Jacob pour la marquise de Marbeuf. Lors de son inventaire après-décès en 1795, dans la salle à manger du premier étage, étaient estimés « douze fauteuils et douze chaises en bois d'acajou de forme antique avec siège foncé en crin couvert de quinze seize bleu uni prisé ensemble mille livres ».
