Catalogue Note
Le modèle de ce fauteuil fait partie d'un des plus extraordinaires mobiliers créés au XVIIIe siècle, conçu aux environs de 1755 pour le grand salon d'assemblée du château de Crécy et commandé par Madame de Pompadour. De cet ensemble, deux fauteuils seulement sont connus : l'un est conservé au château de Versailles, l'autre a été adjugé 500 000 € par Sotheby's à Paris, le 16 avril 2013, lot 129. Incarnant à la perfection le goût rocaille, ce modèle de siège fut copié à plusieurs reprises au cours du XIXe siècle.
