Thomas Hope (British, 1769-1831), Unknown Maker (British). Gilt-wood, reproduction wool upholstery; overall: 102.2 x 113 x 71.1 cm (40 1/4 x 44 1/2 x 28 in.). An art collector, designer, and champion of neoclassicism, Thomas Hope designed this settee for display in his London house. Hopes design exemplifies the continued interest in neoclassical ornament around 1800 through the use of elaborately carved friezes, a central pediment, and a lavishly gilded surface. In 1807 Hope published Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, featuring descriptions of his renowned collection of antiquities and the interior furnishings from his London house, including this settee. Many architects and cabinetmaking firms took inspiration from Hopes designs, adapting Greek and Roman forms to create bold expressions of neoclassicism in their architecture and decoration.Side Chair.

Their frames are stamped on the underside I-B, which is believed to be an alternate mark for Georges Jacob (master 1765-1814), one of the most successful chair makers of eighteenth-century France, who supplied beds and seat furniture to the crown.Epitomizing neoclassicism, the chairs have tapering and spirally fluted legs, and frames carved with rosettes, acanthus leaves, and twisted rope ornament. The unusual scrolled top rail of the back makes a reference to the capital of the Ionic order, one of the three canonic orders of classical architecture..
