Jacobaccording to Biblical myths, the younger twin son of Isaac and Rebekah.

Georges Jacob. Born July 6, 1739, in Cheny, in Burgundy; died July 5, 1814, in Paris. Head of the Jacob family. Became a craftsman in 1765. Although he began by imitating the work of A. C. Boule, Jacob had created, by the early 1780’s, his own style of furniture, full of austere grace in the classical style. His furniture was carved, with gilding; later he used polished mahogany and gilded bronze with classical motifs. Jacob placed his furniture in many French and foreign palaces, including Pavlovsk. He also worked from sketches made by J. L. David (furniture for the painter’s studio, 1789–90), C. Percier, and P. Fontaine (furniture for the hall in which the Convention met, 1793). In 1796, he entrusted his business to his son. Francois-Honore Jacob (nicknamed Jacob- Desmalter). Born Feb. 6, 1770, in Paris; died there Aug. 15, 1841. Son of Georges Jacob.

Since the mid-19th century, the “Jacob style” has meant furniture made of mahogany, on which corrugated strips of brass are glued. This furniture was manufactured in the workshop of Franc. ois-Honoré’s son, Georges-Alphonse Jacob (born Feb. 21, 1799, in Paris; died there Tune 7, 1870). REFERENCESalverte, F. de. Les Ebénistes de XVIII siècle, 4th ed. Paris, 1953.Jacob(dreams)The second and the third dreams reported in Judeo-Christian Scriptures occurred to Isaac’s son, the patriarch Jacob, whose name was later changed to Israel. He is considered the father of the chosen people, and his sons represent the heads of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. At the time of his first dream, Jacob was on his way to Haran to take a wife from among the daughters of his uncle Laban: When he had reached a certain place he passed the night there, since the sun had set. Taking one of the stones to be found at that place, he made it his pillow and lay down where he was. He had a dream: a ladder was there, standing on the ground with its top reaching to heaven; and there were angels of God going up it and coming down. And Yahweh was there, standing over him, saying, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give to you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants shall be like the specks of dust on the ground; you shall spread to the west and the east, to the north and the south, and all the tribes of the earth shall bless themselves by you and your descendants. Be sure that I am with you; I will keep you safe wherever you go, and bring you back to this land, for I will not desert you before I have done all that I have promised you.” Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Truly, Yahweh is in this place and I never knew it!” (Gen. 28:11–16) The purpose of this dream was to confirm the Abrahamic covenant directly to Jacob, and to assure Jacob that, although he was in distress, he was yet the object of God’s love and care. God’s manifestation completely altered Jacob’s view of his own purpose and destiny, and to Jacob this was no mere dream, but a profound spiritual experience. Fourteen years later Jacob was to have another dream, in which he would realize that he was to return to the land of his birth. After this the Bible records several manifestations of the divine presence to Jacob, like the famous dream at Peniel, in which God appeared to him in the form of an angel and the two of them wrestled until daybreak. Jacob prevailed and would not let the angel go until he had blessed him. The angel blessed him, and also changed his name from Jacob to Israel. Jacob called the place Peniel, which means “face of God.” “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is spared and not snatched away” (Gen. 32:30). Thus, as a consequence of this dream, Jacob received a new identity, a new status, as the one who provided his people with a name—Israel. Many years afterward Jacob received a final vision, on his way to Egypt, when God appeared to him personally and assured him that it was in the divine will and plan for him to go to this strange land. God would go with him, but since Canaan was the place for fulfillment of the covenant, God declared that Jacob, as well as his descendants, would be brought back there. Then God promised that Jacob’s long-lost son Joseph would be the one to close his father’s eyes in death.
