Specialist note

Cressent is recorded in 1811 as having supplied chairs for the Imperial Administration. A number of other works by his hand all dating from the late 18th or early 19th century are in the Mobilier National and in private collections. The inventory stamps and stenciled numbers are for the Château de Saint Cloud and the Palais des Tuileries during the Restauration period.
