A PAIR OF LOUIS XVI GREY-PAINTED FAUTEUILS A LA REINE, ONE STAMPED E MEUNIER, CIRCA 1775

Etienne Meunier became master in the 1730s and was part of a family of joiners and woodcarvers based in the Rue de Cléry. The majority of his production was in the Louis XV taste, with a particular focus on desk chairs, but his workshop remained active until the mid-1770s. This pair is a rare survival of his work in the neoclassical Louis XVI style.
