Quite rare in France, these chairs are in the style of George Hepplewhite's furniture (1727-1786)*, our chairs bear a stenciled mark underneath: René Gérard 17 rue Bleue, probably Parisian address.
The wood is very beautiful, with a very warm tint.
Good condition, no play.
Delivery possible for France, €60 for Paris. *Georges Heppelwhite spread the style of Robert Adam who worked mainly for the aristocracy.
He popularized the chair with a back cut into a shield where three feathers often appear, the emblem of the Prince of Wales.
His furniture can be grouped into four categories:
Pieces that are a continuation of those of Robert Adam, Those inspired by the Louis XV style, with curved lines and arched legs, Those inspired by the Louis XVI style with turned and often fluted legs,
Finally, furniture with tapered legs, the most original.
