A PAIR OF LOUIS XV GILTWOOD CHAISES BY JEAN-BAPTISTE I TILLIARD, CIRCA 1745 Each with cartouche back and serpentine seat with heart form cresting, terracotta silk velvet, one stamped TILLIARD, with red-painted Wrightsman inventory number 43A or B to undersides
Acquired from René Weiller, Paris, via Rosenberg and Stiebel, New York, 1957.
Jean-Baptiste I Tilliard, ma?tre in 1717.
The heart-shaped cartouche is a hallmark of the Tilliard workshop and was used by both Tilliard father and son. It has been suggested that there was a tendency at the Tilliard atelier during the period 1743 to 1766 to emphasize the corners of the back as is the case in the present lot, see P. Verlet, Les Meubles Fran?ais du XVIIIe Siècle, vol. I, Paris, 1956, p. 49. This strengthens the likelihood that these chairs were made by Jean-Baptiste I Tilliard.
