Historical origin

Chair Louis is an exact replica of the ornate and formal straight-back chair (1788), or fauteuil, created by Georges Jacob (French, 1739–1814), one of the most successful French armchair makers of the eighteenth century. The Met chair is part of a larger set of furniture described in a 1789 inventory of the Château de Saint-Cloud on the outskirts of Paris. The set was commissioned for Louis XVI's playroom, known as the Salon des Games. With its rectilinear frame, curled armrests and carved legs, the Met chair represents a model of neoclassicism. This reproduction is made with a slim antique gold finish and cream Sentier upholstery.
