Jacob was one of the most renowned and prolific 18th century French chair-makers. He founded a dynasty of cabinet-makers spanning three generations between 1765 and 1847. He went to Paris at the age of sixteen and became apprenticed to Jean-Baptiste Leroge in 1756. Jacob continued his six years apprenticeship with Leroge’s widow and it was in this apprenticeship that he formed compagnonnages with Boucault, and above all, Louis Delanois, with whom he remained particularly close, becoming godfather to his second son. Jacob was appointed a matre menuisier on 4th September 1765 and set up in business in the rue de Bourbon. He moved to the rue de Meslay in 1775, from where some of his finest work was issued and his business prospered. From 1781 he held various offices in the Corporation des menuisiers-bnistes, becoming syndic-adjoint 1788 then syndic 1789.
