This armchair is of incredible detailing and features, from the fluted column body, acanthus leaf carved accents, dentil molding to apron and the absolutely exceptional scale details to the arms - this chair exemplifies the quality and detailing of Georges Jacob.
While I can not confirm this chair to be made by him, or even that it is made during his lifetime. It is absolutely made by a follower in the 19th century.

Important information: DuMouchelles sold a set of 4 nearly identical armchairs from the Anna T. Dodge Dillman collection with the same Georges Jacob attribution. less
