This stamp was used by Francois-Honoré-Georges Jacob, dit Jacob-Desmalter, between 1803 and 1813.

Although previously thought by the Comte de Salverte to have been supplied for the salon of the King of Holland at the Palais des Tuileries, the lack of any inventory mark and the researches of M. Leperlier have established the real provenance of this suite to be the Hôtel de la Reine Hortense in the rue Cerrutti. This hôtel was bought on 2 June 1804 by the Grand Connétable de l'Empire, Prince Louis Bonaparte and his wife, Hortense de Beauharnais, the daughter of the Empress Josephine. As Louis Bonaparte was crowned King of Holland on 5 June 1806, this suite must have been supplied between 1804-6 by Jacob-Desmalter. Succinctly recorded in an inventory, it comprised: 'trois canapés, quatre bergères, quatorze fauteuils, dix-huit chaises, huit tabourets et un écran... recouverte de soie verte'.

On 4 September 1815, Following the fall of the Empire, the hôtel and its furniture were sold to the Roman banker, Torlonia, duc de Bracciano. Of the recorded suite, a canapé, two bergères and four fauteuils were sold in Paris, Hôtel Drouot, 30 May 1990, lot 163, and the twelve side chairs from the alle à manger were sold at Christie's Monaco, 15 December 1996, lot 164, and subsequently at Sotheby's, Paris, 14 April 2010, lot 141. Thus two canapés, six fauteuils, six chaises, eight stools and one firescreen remain untraced.
