ARMCHAIR
![Armchair. Culture: American or French. Dimensions: 38 1/2 x 23 1/4 x 26 1/8 in. (97.8 x 59.1 x 66.4 cm). Maker: Auguste-Émile Rinquet-Leprince (1801-1886). Date: ca. 1843.
In the 1840s, many well-to-do New Yorkers preferred French furniture to that made in their native city. In 1844, Mrs. Samuel Jaudon of New York wrote to her friend Mrs. James C. Colles that "we on this side feel as if everything [is] so much handsomer, and better, and desirable that comes from Paris." Upon orders from New York clients, Parisian cabinetmaker and decorator Ringuet-Leprince shipped entire rooms of furniture, carpets, looking glasses, wallpapers, decorative objects, and sculpture. This armchair is part of a formal drawing room suite that was custom-made by Ringuet-Leprince as part of a suite for the abovementioned Colles family. The suite includes a pair of sofas, four armchairs, four side chairs, a firescreen, and a table (see 69.262.1-10). In 1850, the Colles' daughter, Frances, married John Taylor Johnston, a New York railroad executive who later served as the first president of The Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1870 to 1889. The suite of furniture descended in the family, original upholstery intact, and, except for two armchairs, was given to the Museum in 1969.](/photos/prev/ZWQ0ZmYyMA/album_alb3627393.webp)
