Set of Four Armchairs and Settee

Royal Savonnerie Manufactory, Chaillot Workshops (French, est. 1627) · France · c. 1715

The Savonnerie factory can trace its origins to a small carpet studio which set up shop in 1615 south of Paris in a factory that had formerly made soap (savon in French), hence the name Savonnerie.
