EIGHT LOUIS XVI STYLE PAINTED WOOD BALLOONEIGHT LOUIS XVI STYLE PAINTED WOOD BALLOON BACK CHAISES...EIGHT LOUIS XVI STYLE PAINTED WOOD BALLOON BACK CHAISES À LA MONTGOLFIÈRE, POSSIBLY MAISON JANSEN, EARLY 20TH CENTURY, each with a carved molding balloon form back frame enclosing a pierced hot air balloon style splat, with demi petaled flower cap over long recessed panel bands traversed by a slightly arched guilloché en relief, over a roundel centering a cursive "M" within perles trim above the balloon base of a low rectangular basket with incised lines, flanked by stiles terminating on a circular horsehair padded seat and channeled seat rail, partitioned by block florets over ringed capitals and tapering circular fluted legs ending in toupie feet, painted throughout in a pale blue and seats covered in a pale greenish blue rayon sheer within twist striped silk piping, reversing to backside seat rail with two frame tightening steel ball topped screws. Height: 36" Width: 18" Depth: 19" Note: An almost identical chaise à la Montgolfière by the Parisian menuisier Jean-Baptist Demay (1758-1848) maître 1784 and made circa 1785, can be found in the Musée Carnavalet (no. MB93). The two differences are the monogram in the museum's roundel is a capital cursive LD (ours M), and their legs are tapering fluted but end with stop reeded fluting while ours are fluted to the toupie feet. It appears that the Museum's chair has been reduced in height, lacking what was probably the toupie style of feet, while the set being offered here have not been altered. Provenance: Private Collection, Houston, Texas

13 ¼ in. x 13 ½ in. Overall 18 in. x 15 in.
Polly Bushong and her brother Bobby were famous for their party costumes and their wild sense of humor. They helped enliven the social circuit of artists that dominated the 1950s and 1960s on island. Polly often dressed as a mysterious character, Cora Pratt, in outlandish costumes and carved buck teeth (top left). Photographer Diane Arbus captured Polly as Cora, the Counterfeit Lady, several times with her camera. Daughter and son of a pioneer cinematographer, the Bushongs joined the Artists Association on Nantucket in 1952, and in 1954 held a two-person show at the Kenneth Taylor Galleries. They moved together to Nantucket in 1955. Bobby left a successful career in commercial art in New York City, while Polly was a portrait photographer in their native city of Worcester. Polly was self-taught under the tutelage of her brother, employing a sophisticated folk-art approach to her painting. Bobby studied at the Worcester Art Museum School and at the Museum School in Boston with Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius. They both exhibited at the Lobster Pot Gallery, where attendance for their 1971 opening set a Lobster Pot record, as well as at the Artists Association and the Main Street Gallery, both on Nantucket.” ~ Artists Association of Nantucket.
