A pair of ebony inlaid carved mahogany fauteuils en curule by Jacob Frères rue Meslée, one stamped G. Jacob and one stamped Jacob Frères Rue Meslée, en suite with the previous lot Consulat, circa 1795

In overall good conserved condition. Joints sound and sturdy. Attractive patina and detail to carving. One of the rear feet on one has been restored. There is a slight gap between the spirally fluting on the front support of one which can easily be filled. On the same one there is a horizontal crack and a smaller crack across the back which would benefit from some minor attention. There are also some very minor restorations generally which have been well executed and are hardly noticeable.
