拍品描述
MID-18TH CENTURY Each nozzle cast with the coat-of-arms of the duc de Penthièvre, above a baluster shaft cast with trailing husks, acanthus and C-scrolls, on a spreading cirular base cast with spiralling foliage 9 ? in. (24 cm.) high Following a sinuous, malleable design, these very finely chased ormolu candlesticks are cast with the arms of Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon, duc de Penthievre (1725-1793), for whom they were almost certainly executed, possibly on the occasion of his marriage in 1744. The son of Louis Alexandre de Bourbon, comte de Toulouse and his wife Marie Victoire de Noailles, the duc de Panthièvre was therefore the grandson of Louis XIV and his favorite mistress Mme de Montespan. As his father's sole heir, he inherited the h?tel de Toulouse, the family's residence in Paris, opposite the Palais-Royal as well as the chateau de Rambouillet. The unusual design of these candlesticks is apparently virtually unique; only one other pair is known to exist, sold Sotheby’s Monaco, 17 June 1988, lot 748. They relate to the celebrated design for a candlestick executed by Juste-Aurele Meissonnier (d. 1750) on the occasion of the birth of the Dauphin in 1729 (P. Fuhring, Juste-Aurele Meissonnier: Un genie du rococo 1695-1750, Turin, 1999, pp. 193-197). Of this latter model – a rococo tour-de-force consisting entirely of swirling forms – various examples are known to exist, such as those in the Louvre, in the Wallace Collection and at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, Lisbon, as well as those sold Christie’s Paris, 14 December 2004, lot 229 (€ 35,250) and 25 April 2018, lot 89 (€32,500).
