A large and comfortable early 18th century style (later) wing-back armchair: raised on carved walnut cabriole front supports carved at the knees with conch-style motifs and terminating with foliate scrolls (85 cm widest x 90 cm deepest x 114 cm highest)The armchair is of extra large size, very comfortable, with a solid frame (approx. 46cm from the floor to the seat). Generally in good overall but not 'perfect' condition with the dusky pink upholstery appearing lighter around the outside and with some darker colour and wear to the arms commensurate with usage. There is approx. 1" slightly darker red square on the seat and also an L-shaped one about 2" x 1". The underneath looks good and the chair has been upholstered professionally. The cabriole front legs look to be in good general overall condition. The earpieces are coming away slightly and slightly lighter than the legs. The front and back legs have possibly been rubbed down and re-polished at some time. Probably made in the early 20th century.

PAIRE DE TORCHERES LOUIS XVI EN BOIS SCULPTE ET DORE DANS LE GOUT DE GEORGES JACOB FIN XVIIIe - DEBUT XIXe SIECLEA PAIR OF LOUIS XVI CARVED AND GILTWOOD TORCHERES IN THE MANNER OF GEORGES JACOB LATE 18TH - EARLY 19TH CENTURY The stop-fluted baluster foliate shaft surmounted by a circular tray with beaded and lappeted border above water leaves and gadrooned support, on a hexagonal recessed panelled base with delicate scrolling foliate sprays, the lower section composed of three addorsed sirens holding the reeded vase shape apron, on a concave fronted triangular plinth centred by rosette and edged with tip-leaf moulding, on bun feet, partly regilt, differences to carving , 52cm wide, 161cm high (20in wide, 63in high). Footnotes:These finely carved torcheres, or tripods for vases reflect the late 1770's fashion for decorating the grand 'Salons' of the last quarter of the 18th century in Paris. They are related to four stands commissioned for every corner of the 'Salon de Musique' of Comtesse Marie-Léopoldine Pàlffy, Princesse Kinsky (d.1794) following the building of her hôtel in rue St-Dominique in Paris in 1770. The Kinsky torchères, slightly earlier in dating, were designed by the sculptor and designer Gilles-Paul Cauvet (1731-1788), carved by Pierre Gontier and gilt by F. Mathon. The commission included also a music stand carved in the same manner, so to have a coherent designed suite to the newly furbished room. The music stand is now conserved at the Château de Versailles, illustrated in Pierre Arizzoli-Clémentel, Le Mobilier de Versailles. XVIIE et XVIIIE Siècles, Tome 2, Dijon, 2002, p.237. A pair of Kinsky torchères were sold Christie's London, 22 November 2007, lot 100, from the Collection of the Marquis and Marquise de Ravenel, (sold GBP 558.100 inlcuding buyer's premium). The torcheres here offered are stylistically reminiscent to the designs brought in by ornemanistes such as François Joseph Bélanger (1744-1818), and by Jean-Demosthène Dugourc, his brother-in-law. Belanger was the first architect of Comte d'Artois as from 1777, while Dugourc was appointed in 1780 'dessinateur du Cabinet de Monsieur, frère du Roi' for who he looked after the remodeling and embellishments of the various interiors owned the Comte d'Artois.In 1782 Dugourc published an album of ornaments entitled 'Arabesques', which opened the door to a new fashionable taste of the early 1780's. A new taste composed of mainly delicate female figures ending in lavish acanthus motifs, reminiscent of the bases carved on our torchères. A design for a project of decoration of a 'cabinet à la française' for the Pardo, project which was never executed, shows in prominent position a pair of torchères of similar style with closely related tripod bases. The fashion for the 'turqueries' or 'goût turc' was initiated by the comte d'Artois in Paris during the mid-1770's with the creation of his boudoir turc in the Palais du Temple in 1776. Georges Jacob (1739-1814) was actively carving suites of seat furniture to the new exotic designs of Etienne-Louis Boullée, a stylistic revolution was taking place at the time in Paris, characterized by the celebrated console table for the second cabinet turc of comte d'Artois at Versailles, carved with addorsed sirens at the top of the supports by the talented Georges Jacob in 1781.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
