專家說明

This model is first recorded in 1777, when the fournisseur des bronzes du Garde-Meuble Quentin-Claude Pitoin delivered a pair to M. de Fontanieu, Intendant Général des meubles de la Couronne for Fontainebleu. A second pair was also supplied by Pitoin for the Cabinet of Marie-Antoinette at Versailles in 1779 and another pair was provided for the Chambre of the Duc d'Angoulême at Versailles in 1780.

Related pairs of chenets of this model are in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, and were sold from the Collection Karl Lagerfeld, 28-29 April 2000, lot 45, as well from the Collection of Lord Wharton, 19 March 1970, lot 23. Another very comparable pair is illustrated in H. Ottomeyer, P. Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, München, 1986, p. 273, ill. 4.11.3.
