20 AFTER GUGLIELMO DELLA PORTA (ITALIAN, 15151577): A STUCCO RELIEF OF THE DEPOSITION OF CHRIST, PROBABLY 17TH CENTURY depicting Christ’s body in the foreground, supported by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, Mary Magdalene leaning forward to kiss the wrist of Christ and the Virgin fainting to the centre, with the cross in the background flanked by the two thieves, with onlookers to the sides, in a rectangular, fruitwood frame, the panel 52cm high x 38cm wide, 63.5cm high overall Della Porta’s study of the present composition dating from 1555-1559 is now in the Kunstmuseum, Dusseldorf, and the marble relief is in the Museo d’Arte Antica, Milan.

Numerous bronze plaquettes of this composition are also known. It is thought that Giambologna based his own designs for the Grimaldi chapel on Della Porta’s Passion scenes such as the present example.

23 22 A LATE 17TH / EARLY 18TH CENTURY GERMAN GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF FORTUNA the nude figure in mid step, her left leg raised and balanced on the toes of her right, her arms raised and supporting her flowing drapery, raised on an ebonised, stepped plinth base, the figure 30cm high, 35cm high overall The distinctive facial features of the dancing Fortuna represent an ideal of beauty very different to ours, her round face and double chin, overly large, wide nose and heavily lidded eyes further defined by the lower eye lids as well as the upper give her an appeal far from the classical ideal. Her eyebrow hairs have been individually tooled and her hair swept back. Her physique is strong and stocky with her small breasts very close together, the nipples well cast over the delineated rib cage. The drapery has been finely tooled in places to suggest different textures and a pattern throughout, cast separately it is screwed on to the back of her left arm and the side of her left thigh, with a further separately cast part attached just below her bottom. A supporting bronze bracket has been applied to the base and screwed to her back. These physical features show the influence of the important German sculptor Leonard Kern. £3,000-£5,000 23 AFTER THE ANTIQUE: A SMALL BRONZE STATUETTE OF BACCHUS, PROBABLY 18TH CENTURY the standing figure holding vines in his raised left hand, wearing a vine leaf headdress, with greenish and dark patination, raised on a carved ebonised, cylindrical plinth, the bronze 21cm high, 29cm high overall £600-£800

24 12

24 AN 18TH CENTURY FLEMISH CARVED BOXWOOD CRUCIFIX the Corpus Christi with eyes open and head turned slightly to sinister, raised on a velvet covered cross, Christ 24.5cm high, 41cm high overall £500-£800 *See inside front cover for information regarding fees

27 λ A 17TH CENTURY ITALIAN IVORY AND EBONY CRUCIFIXION SCENE the Corpus Christi figure of Cristo Vivo with eyes open and head looking up, wearing the crown of thorns and with a rope tied perizonium, raised on an ebony cross over a rectangular plinth on a shallow bronze base, with an ivory cartouche above inscribed ‘INRI’, and an ivory figure of the Virgin Mary kneeling at the base, her mouth open revealing carved teeth within, her arm and part of her left side detachable to fit around the cross, her left hand grasping the other edge of the cross, 64cm high £2,000-£3,000

28 A RARE 16TH / 17TH CENTURY ITALIAN EBONISED, PARCEL GILT, AGATE, MARBLE AND MOTHER OF PEARL INLAID TABLE CABINET of architectural form, the caddy top opening to reveal the compartment within, the inside of the lid fitted with a mirror and with red silk lining, the front of the cabinet with oval panels centred by an arch, with three drawers below with gilt lion mask ring handles, framed by plain columns, with gilt foliate scrolling decoration, the oval panels set with various types of marble and with agate flanked by gilt decorated mother of pearl panels, 33cm high x 38cm wide A similar table cabinet dating to the second half of the 16th century is now in The Quirinal Palace in Rome. The type of gilt scrolling decoration which is employed in the present table cabinet was developed in Florence during the 16th century and was favoured by the Medici and popular at their court. The technique was known as ‘all ‘indiana’ as it re-interpreted the stylistic influences of the Indian and Islamic works that were arriving in Italy at the time. Although much of the furniture and works of art decorated in this style are now lost, the inventory of the Royal Palace in Florence of 1637 lists several pieces in the ‘all’ indiana’ technique, and invoices exist dating back to 1586 which also refer to the term. For a similar table cabinet at auction see Sotheby’s, London, 28 October, 2004, lot 313. £6,000-£8,000

30A λ AN 18TH CENTURY INDO-PORTUGUESE (GOAN) IVORY AND CARVED WOOD CRUCIFIX the ivory figure of Christ with finely carved hair, previously painted, with rope tied perizonium with gilt fringe, raised on a cross with ivory quatrefoil mounts over a shaped plinth base, the Christ 9.5cm high, the cross 26.5cm high £400-£600

Exceptional Sculpture from an Important Private Collection

A photographic print dated 1903 illustrating the marble version, included with the lot.

31 LOUIS-ERNEST BARRIAS (FRENCH, 1841-1905): AN EXCEPTIONAL LIFE SIZE SILVERED BRONZE FIGURE OF A GIRL SPINNING ‘LA JEUNE FILLE DE MEGARE’ EXHIBITED AT THE VIENNA INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF 1873 the youthful nude raised on a plinth modelled as a low stool, signed to the right side ‘BARRIAS’, sold together with a photographic print showing two stills of the marble version, titled ‘116 Paris, Luxembourg: Jeane fille de Megare, par Barrias’, inscribed to the reverse ‘NEUE PHOTOGRAPHISCHE GESELLSCHAFT A.G. BERLIN-STGLITZ 1903’,(18cm wide x 9cm high) 126cm high x 66cm wide PLEASE NOTE: This lot will be on display at our South Kensington Gallery until 14th March.

Provenance: Purchased by the present owner from a gallery in Switzerland around forty years ago.

This exceptional master work by one of the most important sculptors of the 19th century has been in private hands for a generation and its reemergence into the art world provides a rare opportunity to acquire a truly museum-worthy work of art. The identical marble figure of the ‘Jeune Fille de Megare’, which is the same size as the silvered bronze and was exhibited at the same time, is now in the Musee D’Orsay, Paris.

17

The sculpture gallery of the 1873 Vienna International Exhibition ‘La Jeune Fille de Megare’ came relatively early in Barrias’s illustrious career. Having studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, he won the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1864, which entitled him to study at the French Academy in Rome, then based at the Villa Medici. It is here, surrounded by ancient marbles and classical works that he first began work on this seminal sculpture. The influence of the ancient world is apparent not only in the theme but in the stylistic qualities of the sculpture. ‘La Jeune Fille de Megare’ depicts a seated youthful girl spinning, for wool production was the main export of her home; the small Greek port town of Magara, in ancient times.

She is depicted nude, but not in any overtly erotic sense; for her pose is refined, static and balanced in the classical tradition; her gaze is measured and her gestures are graceful and poised. She is seated on a low stool designed in the Neo-Classical taste and is depicted as an idealised beauty rather than as a portrait of a particular girl. Her features are generalised and finely proportioned, and she performs a simple, every day act but with a graceful movement that emphasises her female form.

The subject of the spinning girl was not a new theme devised by Barrias, rather a re-interpretation of a subject explored a generation earlier by the important German Neo-Classical sculptor Rudolph Schadow. Schadow was also working in Rome when he witnessed the Roman spinsters twisting their yarn and was so inspired by their elegant movements whilst immersed in this repetitive act that he spent years working on his Neo-Classical marble figure of a spinning girl, ‘Die Spinnerin’ of 1819 (Sold at Sotheby’s, London, 8 July 2010, lot 122 sold £241,000). It is not known whether Barrias was aware of this important work which was exhibited in Rome, but as a pupil of the French Academy there, he was immersed in a rich artistic heritage which influenced his work.

18

Barrias initially produced a plaster version of his spinning girl in 1867, and by 1870 had carved a full size marble version, which is of identical form and size to the present lot. He sent the marble figure to the Paris Salon of 1870, where it was widely admired, to such an extent that it was purchased by the state (decree of 8/06/1870, acquired for 6000 F at the Salon of 1870). It was then exhibited at the Luxembourg Museum in 1872, before being sent by the state to the Vienna International Exhibition of 1873, where it was paired with the present lot.

The official catalogue entry of the 1873 exhibition lists the works as follows: Barrias Ernest Louis, geb. Zu Paris, Schuler von Cavelier und Jouffroy, Paris, avenue Montaigne 37.

831 Die Spinnerin von Megara, Statue aus versilberter Bronze.

832 Die Spinnerin von Megara, Marmor-Statue. Staatseigenthum (public property) ‘Die Spinnerin vo Megara, Statue aus versilberter Bronze’ translates as ‘The Spinner from Megara, silvered bronze statue’, and records show that it was this sculpture, the present lot, that won Barrias the Art Medal at the exhibition. The marble spinning girl ‘Die Spinnerin’, was subsequently exhibited by the state at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1878, and then returned to the Luxembourg Museum; and it appears in a 1903 photographic print whilst on display there, which is sold together with the present lot. In 1923 the marble version was moved to the Louvre, where it remained until 1986 when it was moved to its current location at the Musee d’Orsay.

The sculptor’s studio showing the marble version of ‘Jeune Fille de Bou-Saada’

Barrias’s continued admiration of ‘La Jeune Fille de Megare’ is confirmed by his re-interpretation of the composition for his study of a young Algerian girl entitled ‘Jeune Fille de Bou-Saada’. Seated cross legged on a similar low stool, the young girl from Bou-Saada raises her right arm rather than her left, and is elaborately dressed in fine, jewelled clothes. The sculpture depicts a young Algerian girl, fully clothed, wearing a headdress and holding flowers, whilst raised on a base modelled as a rug over the low stool plinth. No longer surrounded by the marbles of ancient Rome, back in Paris Barrias was instead inspired by the fashion for Orientalism, and other influences for this later work include Achille Guillaumet’s painting of 1885 entitled ‘La Carieuse de aine de Bou-Saada’ (Musée des Beaux Arts, Rouen). The obvious differences between these two canonical works by the sculptor clearly illustrate the stylistic journey that he took from the refined Neo-Classical style at the beginning of his career, to the exotic, emotive Romanticism that he embraced by the 1880’s and which is apparent in the ‘Jeune Fille de Bou-Saada’.

Barrias worked his ‘Jeune Fille de Bou-Saada’ first in wax and exhibited it at the Paris Salon of 1890, later producing a full size marble version, which can be seen in a photograph of this time showing the sculptor in his studio, reproduced above. A bronze version of the Bou-Saada was also made for a funerary monument at Montmartre cemetery, and the sculptor subsequently worked with the Susse Freres bronze foundry to produce an edition of the model in various sizes and materials, such as chryselephantine, enamelled and gilt bronze. Even the use of these more colourful and exotic materials employed in the various versions of the ‘Jeune Fille de BouSaada’ reflect a change in the sculptors artistic goals, from the elegant idealism of the present silvered bronze which as a material reflects light and gives an ethereal look to the finely chiselled surface, to the much more exuberant and exotic appearance of this later work.

The offical 1873 catalogue entry listing the sculpture

Reductions of the ‘Jeune Fille de Bou-Saada’, mostly cast by the Susse Freres foundry, have come to auction in recent years, and the prices realised even for these smaller reductions reflect the continued admiration for the sculptor’s work. For example a bronze and ivory of the Bou Saada girl at 33cm high and cast by Susse Freres was sold at Sotheby’s, London, 30 May, 2008, lot 117, for £34,000.

Reductions of the present sculpture were never made, and so no other examples have ever come to auction. The re-emergence of this exhibition piece therefore presents a unique opportunity to acquire a work of true art historical importance by this renowned sculptor.

32 FERDINANDO VICHI (ITALIAN, 18751945): A LARGE CARRARA MARBLE FIGURE OF A DANCING GIRL ‘DANZATRICE ESOTICA’, SIGNED ‘F. VICHI SALON 1914’ the young girl wearing a jewelled bikini and necklace, her hair flowing around her shoulders in loose curls, dancing with a veil, her diaphanous skirt with ribbons flowing around her, palm leaves at her feet and the oval base naturalistically carved as a carpet, signed ‘F. Vichi Salon 1914, Marmo di Carrara’, with inset metal disc inscribed ‘BAZAR COLON, MONTEVIDEO’, raised on an oval plinth, sold together with two copies of ‘Selecta’ magazine, the first dated May 1917, Ano 1, Numero 1, Montevideo, and including a full page advertisement for the ‘El Bazarcito Y Bazar Colon’ gallery, Calle Sarandi, 580—586, Montevideo, showing a single photograph with the present marble on display in the centre of the image, the second dated October 1917, Ano 1, Num .6 and including a full page advert for the gallery, with four illustrations of the various sculptures in the gallery, the magazine 36cm high, 153cm high PLEASE NOTE: This lot will be on display at our South Kensington Gallery until 14th March.

Provenance: Presumably carved in Florence, inscribed for the Paris Salon of 1914.

Acquired between 1914 and 1917 by the Bazar Colon Gallery, Montevideo, Uruguay.

Purchased by the present owner from a gallery in Geneva, Switzerland over forty years ago and part of an important private collection.

Rarely is a sculpture offered at auction with such intriguing and well documented provenance as the present ‘Danzatrice Esotica’. She was presumably carved in Florence, where Ferdinando Vichi’s workshop was based, and the signature on an identical marble which came to auction some years ago supports this assumption, for it was signed ‘F. VICHI FIRENZE’. Our example is signed ‘Salon 1914’, the last Paris Salon to take place before the Great War, but she has also bears a small medallion for the ‘Bazar Colon, Montevideo’ and appears in a photographic advert for the gallery in 1917. Looking back over a hundred years later, we can hardly imagine the intermittent years and circumstances that led to her escaping Paris on the cusp of war and arriving in Uruguay at the ‘Columbus Gallery or ‘Bazar Colon’ as it was known. The accompanying advertisement shows four photographs of the gallery at this time, brimming with marble sculpture, bronzes and other works of art, from floor to ceiling. We know that she was back in Europe by the 1970’s when she was purchased by the present owner from a gallery in Switzerland, meaning that during her lifetime, she has already travelled from Florence, to Paris, Uruguay, Geneva and London.

An original magazine advert from 1917 showing the sculpture, to be included in the lot.

The ‘Danzatrice Esotica’ demonstrates the high technical virtuosity of this talented sculptor who manages to create a variety of textures and surfaces from the hard crystalline surface of the white marble. Highly respected during his lifetime, Vichi was part of a group of Italian sculptors who exhibited at the Bazzanti Gallery in Florence, including Cesare Lapini, Pietro Bazzanti and Guglielmo Pugi. He specialised in female nudes and busts, exploring the theme through a variety of styles, from his more idealised figures inspired by classical art to the Romantic figures such as the ‘Sea Nymph’, (sold at Sotheby’s, New York, 20 April 2005, lot 75, $108,000). He also worked in the Orientalist style, producing exotic figures such as his marble ‘Danse of the Peacock’, (Sotheby’s, New York, 16 November 2011, lot 351), depicting a dancer in similar garb to lot 34 of this sale.

An identical marble of the same size as the present sculpture but inscribed ‘F. Vichi, Firenze’, was sold Christie’s, London, 20 March 2003, lot 66, £65,000.

Orazio Andreoni was based in Rome and established a large and successful workshop there, training many other sculptors such as Emilio Fiaschi, Antonio Rossetti and Oscar Spalmach (who carved the impressive marble ‘Oceanides’ in Andreoni’s studio that are now installed at York House, Twickenham). All of whom were proud to add ‘Studio O Andreoni’ beside their own signatures. Andreoni was typical of many of the Italian sculptors of the late 19th century whose work had to appeal to an almost global market; although based in Rome, Andreoni was a truly international artist exhibiting throughout Europe and further afield. He exhibited his marble ‘Le Pharisien’ in Turin in 1883 (a version is now in the Sydney Museum in Australia) and his ‘Negrése’ in Berlin 1892. He exhibited at the Glasgow International Exhibition of 1888 and is believed to have worked in America at some point during in his career (his ‘Pereat’ is at Wadsworth Museum in Hartford, Connecticut).

The present marble figure clearly demonstrates the sculptor’s expertise with the material, for here reality is momentarily suspended as we admire the flamboyant dancer, her exaggerated pose as she rests her full body weight solely on the tip toes of one foot, her body seemingly suspended in the air and her gauze-thin drapery falling in soft folds to the ground. The technical skill required to carve this complex pose from the solid marble is immense, and would have been too great a challenge for all but the most talented of sculptors. For here Andreoni allows us to momentarily believe that he has created life from this most solid and dense material, he has recreated the softness of skin, flesh and bone, with nothing more than a chisel.

Property of a Gentleman 35 HOLME-CARDWELL (BRITISH, 1813-1895): A LARGE MARBLE FIGURE OF DIANA ABOUT TO BATHE the nude figure of Diana resting against a draped tree stump, her hair arranged in a chignon, on an integral naturalistic base signed to the side ‘HOLME-CARDWELL Fect.Rome 1879’, 128cm high Provenance: In the private collection of a gentleman for at least a generation.

PLEASE NOTE: This lot will be on display at our South Kensington Gallery until 14th March.

The form of this beautiful Neo-Classical sculpture is derived from a monumental marble Diana that Holme-Cardwell carved in Rome in 1862 and was shown at the London International Exhibition of that year. The monumental Diana recently came to auction at Sotheby's, London, 13 December 2017, lot 41 and realised £357,000.

Holme-Cardwell also exhibited two other sculptures in the International Exhibition of that year, 'Pan and Cupid' and 'Sabrina', and that fact that these are both now in public institutions, (Pan and Cupid was given to the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1871, and Sabrina is now in the Hove museum, Sussex) is surely testament to the high esteem shown to the sculptor's works both at the time and in the present day.

The exquisite modelling of Diana's nude physique and the idealised beauty of her facial features are combined in a marble figure that embodies both the ideals of the neo-classical style and the skill of the talented sculptor who carved her realistic figure from a block of marble. When the monumental Diana was exhibited in 1862 she was titled 'Diana about to Bathe', a title which provides a narrative for the elegant nude figure which in this example, lacks all attributes; for she has undressed and has removed her shoes and bow and quiver of arrows in order to bathe. The Handbook to the exhibition compared the Diana to the famous neoclassical sculptures of Bertel Thorvaldsen and Antonio Canova, further evidence of the high regard this sculptor enjoyed both during his lifetime and beyond, and placing him firmly among the masters of his generation.

The present marble was probably produced for a specific commission by a patron who had seen the monumental Diana and wanted his own version.

48 AFTER ANDREA DEL VERROCCHIO (ITALIAN, 14351488): A LARGE 19TH CENTURY BRONZE REDUCTION OF THE EQUESTRIAN MONUMENT TO BAROLOMEO COLLEONI dark brown patination, with a rectangular base, raised on a stepped Verde Antico marble plinth with a plaquette inscribed ‘BARTY COLLEONE GENERAL DE LA REPUBLIQUE DE VENISE 15 SIECLE PAR VERROCCHIO’ 81cm high overall This bronze is a reduction of the famous equestrian monument to the Condottiero Bartolomeo Colleoni who served many years under the Republic of Venice. Verrocchio was commissioned to produce the sculpture in 1480 by the Venetian Signoria using funds left by Colleoni in his will. He began work on the model only to be told that they had changed their mind and given the commission to another sculptor; Verrocchio was so enraged at this that he smashed his model to pieces and left Venice in a rage. The Signoria soon realised their mistake and had to re-employ him at twice the previous rate; but these delays meant that the monument was still unfinished eight years later when the sculptor fell ill with a chill and died. It was therefore finished by Alessandro Leopardi. £4,000-£6,000

W. OWEN STANLEY / HAMO THORNYCROFT R.A. SC 1896' the bronze 21cm high, 24cm high overall PLEASE NOTE: This lot will be on display at our South Kensington Gallery until 14th March.

Thornycroft is known to have cast in bronze some of his small working models that he produced for larger bronze statues, such as those for the Teucer and the Mower, which were both cast in an edition of twenty five. The present small bronze maquette would have been cast from the plaster original that was made as a sketch model for the full size marble figure. The style of the maquette is typical of Thornycroft's other bronze maquettes, the surface is unfinished and lacking the detail apparent in the full size original.

There are seams visible in the casting from the original moulds which

40

have not been polished and removed, and other marks from the casting process are still apparent on the surface of the bronze as well as traces of plaster. The backs of the wings have been loosely modelled with no attempt to delineate feathers.

Similar maquettes of the same size, by Thornycroft have appeared at auction recently, a bronze maquette for The Mower (20cm high) was sold at Bonhams, London, 2 September 2014, lot 158. This maquette is illustrated in J. Cooper, 'Nineteenth Century Romantic Bronzes', David & Charles, London, 1975 page 67. A further maquette, of 'The Teucer', at 21cm high, was also sold at Bonhams, London, 12 June 2013, lot 192 (£5000). A similar version of this maquette is illustrated in 'Sir Alfred Gilbert & The New Sculpture' Exhibition Catalogue, The Fine Art Society, illustrated on pages 104-105.

The present maquette is a study for a large marble figure which was part of a funerary monument, featuring a sculpture of the deceased on a plinth, with an angel to either side. The monument was finished in 1897 and is in St Cybi's Church, Holyhead, in North Wales.

65 JEAN-LEON GEROME (FRENCH, 1824-1904): A GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF A DANCING GIRL ‘LA DANSEUSE A LA POMME’ the semi-clad girl with long diaphanous dress, balancing on one foot, the other leg outstretched, an apple in her right hand and the hem of her dress held up in her left, on a shaped base signed ‘J.L. GEROME’ and numbered ‘1845’, raised on a green marble cylindrical plinth, the bronze 27cm high, 35.5cm high overall PLEASE NOTE: This lot will be on display at our South Kensington Gallery until 14th March.

Gérôme is perhaps most famous for his paintings but also achieved great success as a sculptor and his bronzes are now highly sought after. He was trained by the important painter Paul Delaroche and became a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts, where he taught for nearly forty years and trained more than 2,000 students. The original ‘Dancing Girl with Apple’, also known as the ‘Ancient Dancer’ was first modelled in 1890 and was made of a luxurious combination of materials; the dress carved in green marble, the skin from ivory and the jewellery cast in bronze and mounted with semi-precious stones.

It was 95cm high and was exhibited at the Salon in 1891, and at the Cercle de l’Union Artistique in 1893, and is now in a private

collection in Geneva. In a letter of circa 1890 Gérôme compared the sculpture to his hoop dancer, held in the hand of his famous Tanagra:‘I have also lately finished a little figure in marble, half lifesize, of a dancing girl, it is like the one Tanagra holds in her hand only this is more seriously made, and the nude portions, as well as the draperies, have been studied with care.’ The dancing girl was subsequently cast in bronze by the Parisian founder Siot-Decauville who made editions in three different sizes and also produced versions like the original, incorporating combinations of materials such as marble, ivory, gilt and patinated bronze and even semi-precious stones. A chryselephantine example (gilt bronze and ivory) was sold Sotheby’s London, 28th June 2007, lot 104, £84,000. A further example of this model cast by Siot Fondeur Paris, at 52cm high was sold at Christie’s, London, 17 June 2004, lot 54, £10,700.

71 71 ATTRIBUTED TO JACQUE-EDME DUMONT (FRENCH, 1761-1844): A TERRACOTTA FIGURE OF A NUDE BACCHANTE the female figure reclining on her front, with long flowing hair and resting on an upturned urn, with an upturned cup and grapes beside her, on a naturalistic integral base, 23.5cm long This wonderfully modelled terracotta can be attributed to Dumont based on the delicate and precise modelling apparent in the details such as her lips, nose, eyes and the vines at her side, as well as its similarity to other known works by the sculptor such as the ‘Standing Woman coming out of the Bath’, sold Calmels, Paris, 19 May 1995, lot 60.Both feature the distinctive elongated physique and relatively small head. Dumont trained under the important sculptor Augustin Pajou, and his influence is apparent in many of his fine terracotta studies. He won the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1788 and was therefore working in Italy from 1788 until 1793, when he returned to France. He was hoping to secure public commissions from the Revolutionary Convention but instead began producing small scale statuettes, reliefs and medals, of which the present Bacchante is typical. Later in his career he achieved public recognition winning numerous official commissions including works for the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel.

He perfected the technique of using mother of pearl inlay to represent floral still life pictures, using the natural variations of colour apparent in the material to simulate the colours and surface textures of the various flowers. He produced a number of panels depicting vases of flowers inlaid with mother of pearl in a similar style to the present lot, many with a chained monkey beside the vase.

Examples are now in the Rijksmuseum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. For a mother of pearl inlaid panel by Van Rijswijck sold at auction, see Christie’s, London, 4 July 2017, lot 156, £87,500. £12,000-£18,000

Detail

106 A RARE PAIR OF LOUIX XVI ENGRAVED, GILT AND POLYCHROME DECORATED SILVER FOIL VIEWS OF THE CHATEAU DE CHOISY-LE-ROY BY CLAUDE-LOUIS CHEVALLIER, PUPIL OF THOMAS COMPIGNE both inscribed ‘L.C. CHEVALIER Chateau de Choisi le Roy’, one also inscribed ‘VUE. DE. CHOISI. LE. ROY. DU COTE. DES. TERRES. EXECUTE. SUR LE TOUR’ above the main view, mounted in gilt rectangular frames, the reverse of the frames with a paper label inscribed ‘SCULPTURE-DORURE ATELIERS 5 & 11, Rue Treilhard ADOLPHE STOLL 11 Rue Treilhard fait tout ce que concerne l’encadrement’, the panels 25cm wide x 20cm high, the frames 32cm wide x 27cm high (2) PLEASE NOTE: This lot will be on display at our South Kensington Gallery until 14th March.

Claude-Louis Chevallier was given the important title of Maître Tabletier chevalier in 1776. He was a student of the perhaps more famous master, Thomas Compigne, Tabletier Privilegie of Louis XV. A pair of panels of almost identical design depicting the Chateau de Choisi but inscribed ‘Par Compigne Tabletier Celebre en 1772’ to the reverse recently came to auction at Christie’s, London, 15 November 2017, lot 246, (£35,000), and it is therefore assumed that Chevallier worked in the same workshop and used Compigne’s moulds. Thomas Compigne’s shop was at Rue Grenetta, Paris, in the cabinetmakers’ quarters; which was useful for sourcing the finest materials for his works, which included ivory, tortoiseshell, exotic woods, paintings, gold and silver. He produced decorative works of art and exquisite objects such as snuff boxes, canes and games boxes, but became famous for his relief panels painted in coloured varnishes on a background of gold or as in the present lot, silver. His unique style drew clients from far and wide who marvelled as the beautiful objects and speculated as to how he had produced them. In 1773 he presented the King with views of his hunting lodge Saint-Hubert, and we can therefore speculate that the pair of panels that Compigne produced depicting the Chateau de Choisy, another royal residence favoured by the King, may also have been made as a royal commission.
