Jean Avisse was one of the many carvers who toiled with little recognition in Paris in the 1700s. As he produced chairs, stools, and settees for upholsterers and dealers, he probably never earned much money. His business was so poor that he was forced to declare bankruptcy twice, in 1769 and in 1776. Despite this, Paris archives show that he paid a large sum of money to receive the honorary title

Object Description · Getty Museum

Patrons normally ordered carved furniture such as these armchairs in sets from a *menuisier.* In addition to the chairs, the set might have included settees, firescreens, folding screens, tables, and mirrors. All would have formed a large matching group with similar carving, gilding, and upholstery. Intricately carved Rococo motifs of leaves, flowers, and vines decorate these armchairs. Jean Avisse, a leading chairmaker of the mid-1700s, probably made them to furnish a large reception room in a Parisian town house.
