An early 19th century mahogany library chair, in the French consulate manner after a design by Percier and Fontaine for Georges Jacob, with a curved ebony line inlaid back with anthemion motif, on carved winged lion mask monopodia front legs, button upholstered in red leather, on later brass gilded casters, replacing the original carved wood lion paw feet Note: For a similar design chair, see Lot 54. Sotheby's Benacre Hall sale, 9th-11th May 2000. 59 x 128 x 60cm (23 x 50 x 23in) Provenance: The deceased estate of a Hertfordshire gentleman Literature: The Greco-Roman inspired form of this armchair is based on a design appearing in a drawing of circa 1795 attributed to Percier and Fontaine, showing five chair sketches for the Jacob workshop. Elements of these drawings were used by Jacob in collaboration with Jean-Baptiste Sene for a commission for the Convention Nationale. Chairs of this design are often referred to as Fauteuil de la Convention. The inspiration for this chair derives from antique furniture excavated from archaeological sites in Rome, at Herculaneum and Pompeii, copies of which appear in pattern books of the late 18th century. The winged lion monopodia was a classic feature favoured by Jacob Freres and used often during the Napoleonic Empire period. The chair has sadly lost the paw feet on both the front legs, which have been strengthened with wrought iron brackets fitted to the side rails joining the front and back legs Signs of old worm in the seat rails, some inlay losses and old repairs to the inlaid back. It is thought that the buttoned leather back, seat and armrests may well be a later addition. There are no visible maker's stamps
