ATTRIBUTED TO JEAN-BAPTISTE GOURDIN, MID-18TH CENTURY, THE UPHOLSTERY SUPPLIED BY HENRI SAMUEL
Each with cartouche-shaped back, padded arms and bowed seat, two upholstered in blue and white cotton and one in green corduroy, within a foliate-carved frame with cartouches, on cabriole legs ending in scroll toes, each stamped I GOURDIN, obscured by the painted decoration, two covered in Georges Le Manach's 'Plumettes'
Jean-Baptiste Gourdin, maître in 1748.

Note du spécialiste

The fabric covering on the two matching fauteuils is Georges Le Manach's 'Plumettes'. A favorite of Henri Samuel, the fabric was also used in the home of Nancy and Frank Richardson at Northwood and in Henri Samuel's own Paris bedroom (see Evans Eerdmans, E. Henri Samuel, Master of the French Interior, New York, 2018, p.202). For a chaise upholstered en suite, see lot 381.
