Empire Suite 11 Pieces

Important and rare Empire period mahogany suite comprising 11 pieces including 1 large sofa, 2 armchairs, 6 armchairs and 2 stools. The salon is stamped several times by the eminent cabinetmaker "H Jacob" for Henri Jacob.
Henri Jacob (December 25, 1753 - December 2, 1824) Carpenter-Paris.
Master: September 29, 1779.
He was the first cousin of the famous artisan George Jacob as proven by the research of Mrs. Denise Ledoux - Lebard.
Henri Jacob settled in Rue de Bourbon - Vileneuve before moving in 1799 and establishing his workshop on Rue de l'Echiquier.
He ceased his activity in 1806.
Thanks to his certain talent and the quality of these works but above all because of the similarity of the names, he quickly enjoyed great notoriety. His production of chairs is very similar to those of his cousin in that he shamelessly copies most of the models.
The sons of George Jacob also published an article in Les Posteres, Annonces et Avis of April 6, 1800, the Jacob brothers warned their customers against any confusion between their store and that of Henri Jacob, Rue de L'Echiquier.
Henri Jacob left beautiful creations of very good quality but often plagiarized from that of his famous cousin.
Its establishment disappeared at the start of the Empire.

Empire period, French work (Paris) around 1800.
This extraordinary salon needs to be restored , good quality set
