Vaux Hill circa 1880

Atop a northern bank of the Schuylkill River sits Vaux Hill, a neoclassical style palatial manor surrounded by rolling grounds.

The house was built in 1843 for William Wetherill by the Philadelphia architect John Haviland, noted for his neoclassical style and for designing the original Franklin Institute and renovating Independence Hall. The historic home was completed on a site known as Fatland, and the first house on the site was built in 1776 by James Vaux, a wealthy Quaker from Philadelphia. During the Revolutionary War, George Washington stayed at the home as it was a strategic location for the Continental Army camped at nearby Valley Forge. Later, John James Audubon frequented Vaux Hill as a visitor, and it was there he met his future wife Lucy Bakewell with whom he explored the home’s gardens and natural surroundings.

The property was purchased in 1991 by Robert and Barbara Safford, who renovated and extended the home and began to furnish it with lavish European antiques.

Over the next twenty years, both Robert and Barbara, inspired by their travels to Europe and the castles and stately homes they visited, amassed a collection of superb porcelains, clocks, furniture and decorative arts.

Their vision of a palatial interior came to be fully realized, and the quality of the pieces presented in the sale is a testament to their dedication and passion.

H: 43 1/2 in. literture: Watson (F.J.B.) “The Wrightsman Collection, vol. 2” Metropolitan Museum of Arts, 1966 pp.364367 note: The famous model from which the present examples are derived was originally conceived as one of four fire chenets representing the four elements with personifications of Jupiter, Juno, Neptune and Cybele commissioned from Alessandro Algardi for Philip IV of Spain around 1650. Only two of them, Jupiter and Juno, were completed by the artist before he died in 1654, the other two were finished by his pupils. When they arrived in Spain they were not used as chenets but given by the King to the Duque du Terra Nueva where they were adapted as decorations in the fountain at the jardin de la Isla at Aranjuez.

The present bronzes are probably cast from the ‘Chenet de l’Algarde’ in the Louvre (MR 3262), which was a copy cast in 1682 for the Versailles palace, and which was later in the Chateau de Tuilleries and Chateau de St Cloud. They were cast by the renowned French bronzier Charles Crozatier (1795-1855), who pioneered a new casting process for large statues. He was apprenticed to the celebrated silversmith Jean Baptiste-Claude Odiot (1763-1850), was a pupil of both Pierre Cartellier (1757-1831) and Francois Joseph Bosio (1769-1845), and was commissioned by Louis XVIII to replace major French scultpures lost in the revolution.The eponymous Musée Crozatier, inaugurated in 1868, was built in his honor. $50,000-80,000
