專家說明

The pairing of a boar and recumbent stag was most notably employed on the chenets supplied by the bronzier Quentin-Claude Pitoin (d. 1786) for Madame du Barry's salon octagone at Fontainebleau in 1772 (P. Verlet, Les bronzes dores francais du XVIIIe Siecle, Paris, 1987, pp. 57-9). The pair was later placed by Louis XVI in his library at Versailles, and thereafter at the Palais des Tuileries.
A nearly identical pair was sold Christie's, Paris, 22 April 2013, lot 62 (23,750 Euros).
