Turned Armchair 201Armchair ca. 1785 French This armchair, a so-called fauteuil en cabriolet, has a slightly curved medallion-shaped back to fit the human form. Made of beech wood, like most French seat furniture of this period, the chair was originally gilded and may have been part of a larger set. Existing records document the making of seat furniture and illustrate the typical eighteenth-century division of labor in such projects. According to strict French guild regulations a menuisier (or joiner) would cut the wood to shape for the frames of the chairs and assemble them: he was not allowed to embellish the frames with more than plain moldings or simple ornament. The decorative carving, here including rosettes, acanthus, pearl motifs and coiling ribbon, characteristic for the neoclassical style, would have been done by specialist carvers or sculptors. The gilding added substantially to the overall cost while the upholstery was generally the most expensive element. If a chair bears a makers mark, it Chair. unknown, creatorArmchair.

Introduced around 1760, their name derives from a new light one-horse driven carriage, called cabriolet”. Pothier became master in Paris in 1750. In his workshop, first located in the rue Mazarine and then in the rue de Bourbon, he executed his best pieces in the neoclassical style which are very close to the works by Georges Jacob.This type of light chair, first mostly used in the apartments of women, was easy to move. The oval-shape back is reminiscent of antique medallions. The straight legs carved with twisted flutes, terminating in peg-top feet and connected to the seat by cubical blocks, are characteristic of the neoclassical taste which was in vogue during Louis XVI’s reign..

SPAIN.Firescreen ca. 1843 Auguste-Emile Rinquet-Leprince French In the 1840s, many well-to-do New Yorkers preferred French furniture to that made in their native city. In 1844, Mrs. Samuel Jaudon of New York wrote to her friend Mrs. James C. Colles that "we on this side feel as if everything is so much handsomer, and better, and desirable that comes from Paris." Upon orders from New York clients, Parisian cabinetmaker and decorator Ringuet-Leprince shipped entire rooms of furniture, carpets, looking glasses, wallpapers, decorative objects, and sculpture. This fire screen is part of a formal drawing room suite that was custom-made by Ringuet-Leprince as part of a suite for the abovementioned Colles family. The suite also includes a pair of sofas, four armchairs, four side chairs, and a table (see 69.262.1-10). In 1850, the Colles' daughter, Frances, married John Taylor Johnston, a New York railroad executive who later served as the first president of The Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1870ArmChairTwo chairs 02Askowska, MariaHigh chair of Ebony with sculpted flower and leaf vines and with a seat of braided reeds, anonymous, 1650 - 1700 High chair of Ebony with sculpted flower and leaf vines and with a seat of braided reeds.
