Catalogue Note
René Cresson, dit l'Aîné, menuisier reçu maître en 1738
La grenade éclatée feuillagée est l'une des caractéristiques des sièges estampillés de la famille Cresson. Cette paire de chaises est à rapprocher d'une paire de fauteuils estampillée Cresson l'Ainé, vendue chez Sotheby's à Monaco le 14 décembre 1996, lot 15. La similitude de la forme et de la sculpture laissent penser qu'elles firent probablement partie d'un même ensemble.
