拍品描述
A ROYAL LOUIS XV ORMOLU-MOUNTED GILT-TOOLED RED-LEATHER TRAVEL CASE BY PIERRE VENTE, THIRD QUARTER 18TH CENTURY Of rectangular form, the hinged top centred by a cartouche with the French royal arms surrounded by clouds, sunbursts, musical instruments and putti, within a double frame of trailing husks and scrolling foliage, with a fleur-de-lys at each angle, the sides with carrying handles, opening to reveal a blue silk-lined interior with a removable tray, signed 'VENTE' 9 ? in. (24 cm.) high; 22 ? in. (57 cm.) wide; 15 ? in. (40 cm.) deep This rare Royal leather coffer was almost certainly delivered by the Menus Plaisirs for the use of the Filles de France, daughters of Louis XV. Pierre Vente (b. 1722, active until 1792), who conceived the present piece, initially worked under the patronage of the Marechal de Richelieu, and in 1753 became Relieur (bookbinder) for the Menus Plaisirs du Roi and in 1764. Each year he supplied several such coffers to Mesdames, who passed them onto their entourage when they were considered too old. Madame Marie-Adelaide de France (d. 1800), fourth daughter of Louis XV, was herself a noted bibliophile, amassing a library of more than 10,000 volumes, all bound in red morocco leather. A closely related coffer supplied to one of Mesdames, with the same coat-of-arms, from the Musée de Cluny, Paris, previously in the collection of Baron Arthur de Rothschild, was exhibited in ‘Louis XV, un moment de perfection de l’art Fran?ais’, Paris, 1974, cat. 551. Other closely related coffers to this example include one sold from the collection of the 5th Earl of Rosebery, Mentmore Towers, Buckinghamshire, Sotheby’s house sale, 1977, lot 109, and another sold from the collection of Jean-Louis Remilleux, previously in the collection of the comte and comtesse Niel, Christie's, Paris, 28-29 September 2015, lot 400. A further related example bearing arms of Marie Leszczynska, previously in the collection of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor can be found in the première antichambre de Madame Victoire at the Chateau de Versailles (Inv. V 5029).
