Remarkable "à l'Etrusque" chair made of mahogany, with mahogany, lemon tree and ebony veneer. G. IACOB stamp under the belt (used between 1765 and 1796). Georges Jacob is one of best French seat makers in the 18th century. He worked for the French Royal family. This chair is typical from the style known as "Etruscan", very fashionable in the late 18th century and directly inspired by the ancient Greco-Roman furnitures, designed by the painter David. Georges Jacob was one of the initiators of this new style. Therefore our chair is kind of a prototype, a forerunner of what later became the Empire style, the work of a "designer" of the 18th century! Excellent condition (old restorations). We covered it with a beautiful, very deep green silk velvet manufactured at Tassinari and Chatel.
