专家说明

The design for the present armchair relates closely to that of the fauteuil du Trône supplied by the celebrated Parisian ébéniste, François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter (d. 1841), for the salle du Trône of Napoleon I at the Palais de Saint-Cloud in 1804 and based on designs by Charles Percier (d. 1838) and Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine (d. 1853). In keeping with Napoleon's desire for the fixtures and furnishings of the salle de Trône at the Tuileries and Saint-Cloud to mirror each other exactly, Jacob-Desmalter produced an additional pair of the chairs for the former palace. However, the two fauteuils du Trône differed from one another; the Tuileries version, without the Herculean chimera monopodia, being more restrained.
