Georges Jacob (Cheny, 1739 - Paris, 1814)
18th century: neoclassicism
C. 1777
Count d'Artois' Turkish Boudoir, Palais du Temple, Paris
This couch, added in the early 19th century, was part of a set made in 1777 for the Palais du Temple for the Turkish cabinet of the Count d'Artois. It combines various decorative motifs; note the lavish drapery garnishing the upholstery, which was meant to evoke the tents of the sultans. The Palais du Temple was the Paris residence of the Count d'Artois.
'Turqueries'
The fashion for Turkish-inspired decor was part of the 18th century's larger passion for the Orient. It reached its peak in the 1770s and lasted throughout the next decade with the creation of several Turkish cabinets, particularly at Versailles and at Fontainebleau. Beyond furniture, other areas of the decorative arts reflected this vogue for 'turqueries'. Turkish figures were painted onto Sèvres porcelain and the Manufacture des Gobelins produced a tapestry known as "The Turkish Costume" based on a cartoon by Amédée Van Loo.
