Antique Louis XVI Armchair With A Flat Back, Stamped
Louis XVI-era armchair with a flat, oval backrest, stamped CJYM.
Elegant Louis XVI-era armchair in waxed wood, molded and carved. Armrests with cuffs.
Flower-decorated connecting blocks;
the seat rests on tapered, fluted, and serrated legs.
The armchair is upholstered in a fabric with floral motifs and red and cream stripes (as is). Spring-supported upholstery.
Beautiful proportions and sound structure.
The mark CJYM ( C·JY·M), long attributed to the Nantes cabinetmaker Claude Javoy, may also be attributed to the Parisian sculptor Charles Joigny (1731–1803).
The latter regularly collaborated with chairmakers, and this mark is often affixed as a secondary stamp alongside those of the great masters of the era...
