Jean-joseph Chapuis, extremely rare Consulat-period stamped knitting table.

Extremely rare mahogany "à l'Antique" knitting table from the very late 18th, early 19th century.
Resting on three curved legs joined by a wrought-iron brace, simulating an Etruscan Athenian.
A superb ram's head, carved in the round, sits on each leg, holding a canephore vase.
Sophisticated carved hooves rest on the floor.
The belt is adorned with ebony marquetry buires, each surrounded by a rhombus.
This specific motif, like a Jean-Joseph Chapuis signature, is often found on the cabinetmaker's furniture. It can be found on seats, consoles, pedestal tables and chests of drawers.

This elegant knitting machine, in excellent condition and entirely original, can be fitted with custom-made marble to create a superb Athenian saddle. Quotation on request.

Jean-Joseph Chapuis (1765-1864)
A Brussels cabinetmaker, he set up his workshop on rue de Borgval and then rue de Loxum. Supplier to the Royal Palace in Laeken, he was commissioned by Emperor Napoleon in 1805 to carry out the furniture inventory of the Château de Schonenberg in Laeken. Listed in the Almanach du Commerce until 1824, he remained in business until 1830 (Le Mobilier Français du XIXe siècle, 1795-1889. Dictionnaire des Ébénistes et des Menuisiers, Denise Ledoux-Lebard, Paris, 1984, l'Amateur Ed., p. 120).
