Georges Jacob, Master in 1765\nFour gilded wood armchairs from the Louis XV period, circa 1765-1770<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Of museum quality, Louis XV armchairs stamped by Jacob are very rare. They exhibit the subtle curves characteristic of the late Louis XV period, along with sculpted decorations of small flowers and foliage. The most interesting examples are the simplest, with very elegant lines highlighted by fine, supple moldings that testify to Georges Jacob's great talent.<\/p>\n

Son of Etienne Jacob and Fran\u00e7oise Beaujan, ploughmen.<\/p>\n He arrived in Paris at a very young age in 1755 as an apprentice carpenter with Jean-Baptiste Lerouge, established on rue de Charenton. He then joined Louis Delanois, the supplier of Madame du Barry, mistress of Louis XV, as a journeyman. The promoter of the neoclassical style in the seat, Delanois undoubtedly influenced Jacob's models.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Received master in 1765 thanks a small gilded wooden seat, Jacob then created his own workshop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Two years later, he married Jeanne-Germaine Loyer from a family of master embroiderers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Established in his first years on rue de Cl\u00e9ry, his workshops were moved in 1775 to rue Mesl\u00e9e where the most favorable period of his career took place and where the greatest royal orders were executed.<\/p>\n Georges Jacob is an innovator: it is also in the arrangement and decoration of the legs and arms of his seats that we find formulas launched if not imagined by him. Many of his chairs rest on tapered legs with rudentine flutes. These feet are connected to the belt by a die or case, decorated with a rose.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n References:\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Le Mobilier Fran\u00e7ais du XVIII\u00e8me Si\u00e8cle – Pierre Kjellberg – Les \u00c9ditions de l’Amateur – 2002.<\/p>\n Les \u00e9b\u00e9nistes du XVIIIe si\u00e8cle – Comte Fran\u00e7ois de Salverte – Les \u00e9ditions d’Art et d’Histoire – 1934.<\/p>\n Mus\u00e9e Marmottan Paris.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Georges Jacob re\u00e7u Maitre en 1765 Quatre fauteuils en bois dor\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9poque Louis XV vers 1765-1770 De qualit\u00e9 Mus\u00e9e, les si\u00e8ges Louis XV estampill\u00e9s Jacob, sont relativement peu nombreux, on y retrouve les galbes peu accus\u00e9s de la fin du r\u00e8gne Louis XV, et les d\u00e9cors sculpt\u00e9s de fleurettes et de feuillages.
