    Mahogany and mahogany veneer game table. It rests on a quadripod base decorated with sculpted palmettes topped with a large gadrooned baluster. Closed it is a console, open it presents a circular play mat covered with green cloth. End of the Empire style, Restoration period around 1830. .JACOB stamp used by Georges-Alphonse Jacob Desmalter between 1831 and 1847.

    Georges Alphonse Jacob is the 3rd generation of the Jacob dynasty and the son of François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter (1770-1841), the most fashionable cabinetmaker and seat carpenter between 1796 and 1825. He is the grandson of Georges Jacob, the most talented chair carpenter of the old Regime with Séné. Trained by his father, François Honoré joined forces in 1796 with his brother Georges II to create Jacob Frères rue Meslée and supply the imperial family. The two brothers created the Empire style by sculpting in wood the models imagined by the painter Jacques Louis David and the architects Percier and Fontaine. After the death of Georges Jacob fils in 1803, François Honoré continued his activity under the Jacob Desmalter brand on rue Meslée. The firm supplies the Imperial family and the notables of the Empire but remains, due to its size (300 workers), very dependent on official orders.

    Jacob Desmalter went bankrupt in 1813 and François Honoré Jacob resurrected it, this time using his father's stamp, erasing the G in Georges to leave only the .JACOB. His activity extended until 1825 when he handed over to his son Georges Alphonse.

    Good original condition: the table has retained its well-preserved original green cloth. Varnished with the original stamp which was cleaned by our cabinetmaker. Some slots on the upper shelf. We present the table as it is but can have it revarnished on request.
