Pair Of Reine St. Armchairs By Georges Jacob In Re-gilded Wood Versailles

Pair of queenly/ceremonial armchairs in re-gilded wood, rare model with openwork reversed back and carved with garlands of flowers, fluted base simulating a quiver of arrows.
This base is found on a pair of armchairs ordered from Georges Jacob* around 1784-1785 for Marie-Antoinette's boudoir.
Sold during the Revolution, entered the collections of the Königliches Kunstgewerbe Museum in Berlin in 1895, then disappeared during the Second World War, the ensemble was acquired in 1980 by the Château de Versailles.
Our models here date from the period 1880-1920, the re-gilding is awful, the previous tapestry is visible on one of the cuffs. Otherwise the joinery is in good condition, no play, just two small rosettes missing on the ends of the backs. folders.
