A LOUIS XVI GILTWOOD CANAPE, BY HENRI JACOB, LATE 18TH CENTURY

A LOUIS XVI GILTWOOD CANAPE BY HENRI JACOB, LATE 18TH CENTURY Back rail stamped 'H. JACOB' 99.5cm high, 89cm wide, 59cm deep Provenance: Couturier & Nicolay, 10 June 1998, lot 301 Bonhams, The Selected Contents of a Kensington Town House, 30 June 2022, lot 513 Henri Jacob, maître in 1779. Henri Jacob (1753-1824) trained under his cousin, the celebrated menuisier Georges Jacob, for six years before receiving his maîtrise in 1779. He became an accomplished and prolific menuisier-ébéniste, counting amongst his most illustrious clients the future Paul I of Russia and his wife Maria Feodorovna. When the future tsar and his spouse traveled to France in 1782, they ordered over two hundred chairs and other pieces of furniture from Jacob for Pavlovsk, their new palace near St. Petersburg, see D. Ledoux-Lebard, ‘Henri Jacob, un menuisier-ébéniste original’, L’Estampille-Objet d’Art, March 1995, pp. 46-57. Henri gained the freedom to produce both seat and case furniture towards the end of his career, after the abolition of the restrictive French guild system. His oeuvre is often compared with that of his celebrated cousin, given the undeniable similarities and rapprochements, the impeccable quality of his work and the fact that both worked for the Crown. Henri is most well-known for his creations from the Directoire and Consulat periods, when his work is characterized by strict à l'antique forms and the use of luxurious mahogany.
