Louis XVI Period Marquise - Attributed To Pillot.

Dedicated to the hostess, the marquise is a rare and often superior quality chair. Typical of Pierre Pillot by its square section legs, our marquise is a very good example. The feet are richly rugged here on all four sides, the crossbars and the backrest are carved with ribbons but also with a row of pearls. Exceptional seat in the work of Pierre Pillot, to note the doubling of the front cross member, as well as a lack of the belt release where Pillot usually bears his stamp. Upholsterer redone and covered with an old ecru linen. Some wear to the lacquer. Nîmes, late 18th / early 19th century period.
