A late Louis XV ormolu mounted Vernis Martin encoignure by Jacques Dautriche (1725-1778)1770-1775, the moulded breche d'alep marble top above a panel mounted door decorated au fond jaune with figures, pagodas and a boat within an Oriental seaside landscape, enclosing two shelves, flanked by rosette and gutta mounted angles, on tapering square section feet, the top stamped: 'J. DAUTRICHE, JME', 73cm wide x 45cm deep x 89cm high, (28 1/2in wide x 17 1/2in deep x 35in high)Footnotes:Jacques van Oostenrijk, dit Dautriche, maître in 1765.Born in the Low Countries, Jacques van Oostenrijk moved to Paris sometime before 1743, at which time he gallicized his name to Dautriche. Until he became maître in 1765 he worked as an independent journeyman who specialised in marquetry. For quite a while it appears Dautriche was based in the rue Traversière, until towards the end of his life he moved to the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, a location which has long been celebrated for its association with some of the most important 18th and 19th century cabinet makers. Dautriche even counted the Comte d'Artois among his numerous major clients. When he died in 1778, his workshop was taken over by his widow Elizabeth Hannot and his son Thomas-Jacques Dautriche, who was later to take part in the storming of the Bastille.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A Louis XIV giltwood and gilt gesso mirrorlate 17th centuryProbably circa 1675, the rectangular bevelled plate within an opposing C-scroll-and-leaf moulded slip, flanked by two freestanding ballet dancing putti, within an alternating addorsed and opposing C-scroll carved, floral and foliate strapwork surround with projecting theatrical classical mask embedded cartouche angles, surmounted by a shaped panel cresting comprising trellis work carved with interlacing scrolled acanthus strapwork and flowers centred by a musical trophy, with two musical putti flanking a central freestanding balletic figure holding a dagger aloft whilst standing poised on a pedestal, 156cm high x 88cm wide.Footnotes:Featured'Treasures from Sussex Houses: Bronzino to Boy George' exhibition, 17th September-10th November 1985, Brighton Museum and Art Gallery, Royal Pavilion, No. 31.The Sun KingIt is probable that the main central carved figure on the offered lot is a representation of Louis XIV as a young man. The figure's relatively large scale, central prominence, classical costume and balletic posture suggests that it is a portrayal of Louis XIV in one of his sixty-eight roles as part of the twenty-four ballets de cour that he took part in, often in one of the main roles, during the period 1651-1669. The King first performed at the age of twelve in the Ballet de Cassandre in 1651 and it is believed that his last appearance in this capacity was in 1670, when he took part as a thirty-one year old in 'Les Amants Magnifiques'. However, the apparent depiction of Louis XIV on the present mirror is perhaps most reminiscent of two specific drawings which show the youthful 'Sun King' in full balletic garb. The first is as Apollo from the widely celebrated and important 1653 Ballet Royal de la Nuit and the second illustrates Louis in the part of La Guerre from Les Noces de Pelee et de Thetis.Louis XIV was a highly influential figure in the early development of ballet and a major proponent of ballet as a flourishing art form in France during the third quarter of the 17th century. His active involvement in, and evident enthusiasm for, a distinctively French style of 'court' ballet, alongside such key figures as the Baroque composer Jean Baptiste-Lully (1632-1687), cannot be understated. The king even founded the first Academy of ballet when in 1661 he established the Academie Royale de Danse.Referenceswww.danceinhistory.comwww.planethugill.comwww.vam.ac.ukThis lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
