(2) The Parisian firm of Jeanselme, founded in the early 1820s and known as Jeanselme Frères from 1829, specialized in the design and manufacture of chairs and fufilled many orders for the Imperial households with part of their output remaining in the Mobilier National (see G. Janneau, Le Mobilier Français, les Sièges, Paris, 1999, p. 198). The firm is perhaps however best known for having acquired the workshops of Jacob in 1847.
