A pair of Danish Louis XVI black painted beechwood armchairs,
designed by C.F. Lillie, decorated with gold ornaments
and sceneries in colours. Late 18th century. (2).
Five armchairs and a settee have been preserved. They were acquired
in 1797 by chandler Thøger From, who furnished his property on the
corner of Frederiksborggade and Rosenborggade, which served as his
home and shop from 1794 until his death. According to family legend,
Thøger From purchased the set from Lillie. The company was
continued by Thøger From’s heirs in the same building until 1912
when the last proprietor died, Merchant Johannes Michael Holm. The
two catalogued chairs were bequeathed to Holm’s oldest son, Sophus
Thøger From Holm, who in turn passed them on to his daughter,
Benedicte Helweg. Reproduced and referred to in Tove Clemmensen’s:
“Møbler af N.H. Jardin, C.F. Harsdorff og J.C. Lillie”. Copenhagen
