They are part of the same set as the two bergères (1971.206.5 and 1971.206.6) also in the Mets collection. In contrast to the bergères, however, intended to be used in the center of the room, these armchairs were?most likely placed against the paneling (meublant) and considered as part of the wall decoration.Made around 1760, these chairs bear the mark L.CRESSON underneath their frames which probably refers to the joiner (menuisier) Louis I Cresson. It is difficult, however, to attribute this stamp with certainty to a particular member of the Cresson family since ten of them were masters of the Parisian Corporation des Menuisiers-Ébénistes (Parisian guild of furniture makers) in the eighteenth century, four of whom werPedestal Back Sidechair with Carved Kylix.

The present example, one of a pair of side chairs in the Museum 1 , is based on a design that was included in all three editions of his famous book, The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director. 2 The plate illustrates three "ribband back" chairs of similar design. In the first edition, he describes the three chairs without modesty as "the best I have ever seen (or perhaps have ever been made)." 3 In the third edition, he noted that "Several Sets have been made, which have given entire Satisfaction." 4 Little did he know just how many sets would be made by other cabinetmakers, both in London and the provinces, or that ribbonback chairs would continue to be popular throughout the Chippendale Revival in the nineteenth century and even into Armchair. unknown, authorCard Table c 1816-1830 Chester.
