Lot 65: * Inspired by the opulent designs of F

Inspired by the opulent designs of F. H. G. Jacob-Desmalter, the celebrated Parisian furniture maker of the early 19th century, this ebonised fauteuil is a true statement of French Empire style. It features a gracefully moulded, curved toprail above a padded and scooped back, beautifully complemented by distinctive swan-carved arms. The plush, stuffed seat is newly upholstered in a luxurious blue field silken damask, adding a fresh yet classic touch. This exquisite chair rests on elegant panelled sabre front legs. With a height of 105 cm, width of 71 cm, and depth of 58 cm, it combines historical grandeur with contemporary refinement.
