Catalogue Note
Ces tabourets à dossiers, dit "à la chancelière", étaient conçus pour accompagner une bergère. Véritables concentrés de sculptures et d'ornement, certains figuraient dans le mobilier royal comme en témoignent deux autres modèles connus, tous deux créés par Sené et Vallois sous la direction d'Hauré(1):
- l'un livré en 1787 pour le cabinet de Marie-Antoinette à Saint-Cloud. Il est aujourd'hui au Louvre
- le second livré en 1788 pour le Service du Roi pour le Salon de la Félicité à Saint-Cloud. Il fut vendu chez Christies Paris, ancienne collection du duc de Talleyrand, le 26 novembre 2005, lot 201.
Le musée du Louvre conserve encore deux autres modèles provenant du legs du comte Isaac de Camondo en 1911, l'un estampillé par Georges Jacob et l'autre attribué à ce dernier (voir. B. Pallot, Le Mobilier du Musée du Louvre, Dijon, 1993, p. 142 et 143).
