Attributed works:
66. One of a pair of wall lights, attributed to Pierre-Philippe Thomire. French (Paris), c. 1780-85. Gilt bronze and gilt copper, 108 by 57 by 30 cm. These wall lights are finely-chased examples of a model also found in the Wallace Collection and in the Petit Trianon. They were until recently in the collection of the Mortemart Rochechouart family.
Attributed works:
67. One of a pair of decorative vases. Italian or French, c. 1765-70. Porphyry, set with gilt bronze mounts, 38.8 by 41 by 27.7 cm. The vases closely follow a design for a vase by Eunemond-Alexandre Petitot (1727-1801) which was one of a suite of thirty-one vase designs engraved in 1764. To find a dated engraving for a decorative object is rare. Petitot left France in 1753 and spent the rest of his life in Parma, working principally for the court as chief architect. Thus it is possible that the vases were made in Italy. The porphyry bowls were certainly produced there, and the heavily sculptural and rather crudely chased mounts with their thick, uneven gilding also point to Italian rather than French manufacture. Another pair of these vases are in the collection of the Marquess of Cholmondely, at Houghton Hall.
Attributed works:
68. Tea service. French (Chantilly), c. 1730-35. Soft paste porcelain; tray 2.1 by 22.4 by 22.7 cm, teapot 8.9 by 13.1 by 8.4 cm. This small-scale tea service is decorated with the 'flying squirrel' pattern, copying Japanese kakiemon porcelain. The models used for this service were not commonly repeated at Chantilly.
Attributed works:
69. La collation. One of a set of five tapestries. French (Beauvais), c. 1690-1705. Wool and silk, 422.9 by 309.8 cm. From the series Tenture Boucher, after cartoons by Guy-Louis Vernansal, Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer and Jean-Baptiste Belin de Fontenay, this piece bears the woven signature 'VERNANSAL. INT. ET. PU.' The set was part of a commission originally consisting of ten tapestries made for the comte de Toulouse, the illegitimate son of Louis XIV, and each bears his arms and monogram. They passed to Louis-Philippe and Empress Eugénie; two are conserved at the Château de Compiègne.
Attributed works:
70. Char de Triomphe. French (Gobelins), 1715/16. Wool and silk, 350 by 280 cm. This tapestry was one of sixty-six woven at the Gobelins between 1662 and 1724. The original design by Charles le Brun and the cartoon by Yvart le Père were commissioned by the finance minister Nicolas Fouquet to be woven at his tapestry workshops at Maincy. Following the minister's fall in 1661, Louis XIV had the design adapted for his own use. The tapestry retains part of the original lining inscribed with the inventory number 194; it was delivered to the GardeMeuble de la Couronne in October of 1717.
Attributed works:
71. Pair of three-leaf screens. French (Savonnerie), c. 1714-40. Knotted wools, the interior wooden frame, studs and velvet of later date, 194.6 by 273.5 cm. The panels were made in the Manufacture Royale de Savonnerie after cartoons by Blain de Fontenay (1653-1713), the birds probably after designs by François Desportes (1661-1743). This was the largest of the eight models produced by the factory, and 138 panels were made. They were for the use of the King and Queen and the Princes of the Blood, and were placed in ante-rooms or the dining rooms of La Muette, Choisy and Versailles. These screens are particularly remarkable for the unfaded state of their colours.
Attributed works:
72. One of a pair of coffers on stands. French (Paris), c. 1680. Oak veneered with brass, pewter, tortoiseshell and ebony, set with gilt bronze mounts, 156.6 by 98.9 by 55.8 cm. The coffers on stands are attributed to André-Charles Boulle (1642-1732). A coffer of similar form was delivered by Boulle to the Grand Dauphin in 1689. One of the stands closely follows a drawing given to Boulle, now in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, while the other stand is of a familiar model often found supporting small rectangular cabinets of this period.
Attributed works:
75. One of a pair of bibliothèques. Both are stamped 'BVRB' for Bernard van Risenburgh (m. 1730-65/66). French (Paris), c. 1745-50. Veneered with bois satiné, kingwood and tulipwood, with gilt bronze mounts, 147.9 by 101.9 by 46.9 cm.
Attributed works:
76. Cartonnier and serre-papiers, by Bernard van Risenburgh, the clock movement by Etienne Le Noir (b. 1699, m. 1717, d. after 1778). French (Paris), c. 1745-49. Oak with vernis Martin decoration, gilt bronze mounts and painted bronze figures, 192 by 103 by 41 cm. The mounts are stamped with the crowned 'C' tax mark, dating them to between 1745 and 1749. One other cartonnier of this model is known, with veneered surfaces, in the Hermitage Museum. It is stamped by both Bernard van Risenburgh and Joseph Baumhauer.
Attributed works:
77. Bureau plat, attributed to Martin Carlin, some of the porcelain plaques gilded by Vandé. French (Paris and Sèvres), c. 1780-84. Oak veneered with tulipwood, set with soft paste porcelain plaques with bleu céleste borders and with gilt bronze mounts, 77 by 131.5 by 62 cm. This table bears the trade label of the Parisian marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre. In 1784 the Grand Duchess Maria-Feodorovna of Russia purchased the table from Daguerre. She installed it in her state bedroom at the Palace of Pavlovsk, near St Petersburg.
Attributed works:
79. One of a pair of vases. French (Sèvres), c. 1785. Soft paste porcelain, enamelled and gilded, 25.3 by 22.5 by 15.9 cm. This model, known as a vase hollandais nouveau was first introduced at the factory in 1758. Rococo forms such as this were often produced throughout the second half of the eighteenth century, decorated in the prevailing neo-classical style. The vases are marked with the Sèvres crossed L's and the painter's symbol, probably that of Jacques-Louis-François de Laroche (1758-1800). He painted a similar pair of vases with a bleu céleste ground and arabesques riches in 1785.
Attributed works:
80. Two Japanese figures, modelled by Johann Joachim Kändler (b. 1705, active from 1731, d. 1775). Meissen, 1745. Hard paste porcelain, 45.1 by 29.5 by 21.7 cm. Kändler's work books for 1745 show that he was paid twenty-four reichsthaler for modelling this group, which is listed specifically as of Japanese figures. Another example of the group is in the Palazzo Madama in Turin.
Attributed works:
81. Garniture of five vases, the painted decoration attributed to Johann Gregor Heroldt, the central vase bearing the incised mark of the moulder Schiefer. Meissen, c. 1730. Hard paste porcelain, each vase painted under the base with the monogram 'AR' for Augustus the Strong of Saxony, central vase 37.3 by 24.1 cm. Many of the seventy-two painted scenes of chinoiserie figures found on these vases can be traced to the book of designs used at Meissen known as the Schulz Codex.
Western art unattributed:
73. Side chair. Italian (Piedmontese), c. 1700-10. Gilded wood, with modern replacement corded and ribboned upholstery, 128.5 by 55.6 by 69.5 cm. This chair is one of nine that exist today; one similarly upholstered is still in the royal residence of the Castello Racconigi, near Turin, for which the set was presumably made. Two still bearing their original upholstery are now in the Toledo Museum of Art.
Western art unattributed:
74. Reading and writing table. French (Paris), c. 1670-75. Oak veneered with ivory and blue-stained horn, with gilt bronze mouldings, the surface and interior lined with blue silk velvet, 63.5 by 48.5 by 35.5 cm. The table appears in the 1718 posthumous inventory of Louis XIV's possessions.
Western art unattributed:
78. Commode. Italian (Venice), c. 1745-50. Oak, painted, silvered and gilded, with a faux marbre top, 81.5 by 147 by 62.5 cm. This commode is of a fairly standard Venetian form of the mid-eighteenth century, except that the entire surface of the front is treated as one continuous area for its painted decoration of swags of naturalistic flowers. The piece is reputed to have belonged to the Orsini family. Most of the silvering on the raised carved mouldings has oxidised.
