拍品描述: ATTRIBUTED TO PIERRE-PHILIPPE THOMIRE, EARLY 19TH CENTURY Modelled in three sections with two 'D'-ends, encircled by a gallery with seated winged neo-classical female figures supporting fruit-filled cornocopia beside a dove, the gallery divided by eight shallow tazzas on leaf-cast baluster stems, with a neo-classical figure to each corner standing atop a globe raising three wreaths in each hand and fitted with candle nozzles, above a band mounted with rosettes, raised on rectangular leaf-cast feet, with divided later mirror plates to the base 12 ? in. (32 cm.) high; 33 ? in. (84.5 cm.) wide; 86.5 in. (220 cm.) long This grand surtout de table is attributed to the workshop of Pierre-Phillipe Thomire (1751-1843). The most celebrated bronzier-ciseleur of the Empire period, Thomire was born into a family who specialised in the finishing and refinement of gilt-bronze. He worked initially for the renowned bronziers Pierre Gouthière (1732-1813) and Jean-Louis Prieur (d. circa 1785-1790), ciseleur-doreur du roi. Thomire established his own workshop in 1776 and quickly established a reputation for finely chased gilt-bronzes, supplying gilt-bronze mounts for furniture to the ébéniste Jacob Desmalter. Thomire's workshop continued through the Revolution and in 1804, he purchased the business of Martin-Eloy Lignereux, a marchand-mercier. This greatly expanded his establishment, as it allowed him to sell furniture and Sèvres porcelain that could be mounted with ormolu from his workshops in addition to the wide range of objects it already produced such as candelabra, surtouts de table, clocks, vases and chenets. Thomire's atelier soon gained the patronage of Napoleon, who awarded him the title of ciseleur de l'empereur in 1809 and fournisseur de leurs majesties two years later, perfecting the motifs and forms now so closely related with the empire style. Compare the standing winged figures on the present lot with a pair of candelabra signed by Thomire, circa 1810-1815, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (inv. 26.256.2-3). Thomire relinquished control of the business to his son-in-law in in 1823, and the firm continued to flourish for almost thirty more years until ceasing to trade in 1852.
