Seconde bordure idem de 2° biais croisé en soie Largeur 2m. 663.86 Deux oreillers plumes étoffes idem avec cents en soie grenade (7953) prix 813.86 973 Deux bergères en bois doré rechampi en blanc carreaux en plumes cannetillé vert, bordure et biais idem (7054) prix 586.60 974 Huit fauteuils idem (7955) prix 1474.48 It formerly comprised a further pair of bergères and was subsequently placed in the salon of her late husband's cousin Monseigneur le Dauphin, Duke d'Angoulême (1775-1844). It left the château de Saint-Cloud under King Louis-Philippe’s reign and was sent to the château de Fontainebleau where it was inventoried in 1855 and sold by the domaines in 1885. The finely carved decoration of this suite is reminiscent of the oeuvre of the celebrated chairmaker Georges Jacob and relates to other suites of seat furniture he supplied for the château de Saint-Cloud including the pair of fauteuils delivered in 1787 for the salon de jeux (sold collection Cartier; Sotheby’s, Monaco, 25 November 1979, lot 156); and to a fauteuil stamped by him illustrated in J. Nicolay, L'art et la manière des maîtres ébénistes français au XVIIIème siècle, Paris, 1986, fig. K. Maria Caroline, Duchesse de Berry (1798-1870), was the daughter of Francesco I of the Two Sicilies. In 1816, she married Charles Ferdinand, Duc de Berry (1778-1820), the youngest son of Charles X, King of France, (1757-1836). Following the assassination of her husband in 1820, her son, Henri, comte de Chambord (1820-1883), continued the direct Bourbon line of Louis XIV and was the Legitimist Pretender to the throne of France. A remarkable woman, admired for her courage and her beauty, the duchesse de Berry was highly acclaimed for her incredible patronage, to decorative arts in particular: the style now referred to as ‘Charles X’ after her father-in-law, is also occasionally described as the ‘style de Berry’. She regularly attended the Expositions des produits de l’industrie, later known as Expositions Universelles, during the Restauration period, and acquired many pieces of furniture, works of art, jewellery, pictures and books for her various residences.
