Lot Essay
Louis Delanois, maître in 1761.
This pair of chairs with its unusual shape and hoof feet was once part of a set almost certainly suppliedto the Ecole de Chirurgie in Paris, build circa 1775 by the architect Jacques Gondouin (1737-1818).
Although made by Louis Delanois, who became Master in 1761 and essentially worked in the new neo-classical style, this set is interestingly stylistically reminiscent to Louis XIV period. In 1911, twenty-one chairs of this set were still recorded in the Ecole de Chirurgie by Noé Legrand, in his Les collections artistiques de la Faculté de Médecine de Paris (Paris, 1911, pp. 212-213):
'Chaises diverses: Vingt et une chaises “pied de biche” anciennement couverte de satin, garnies aujourd’hui d’étoffe rouge. Elles portent la marque: L…LANOIS et L.DELANOIS frappée sur le bois.'
