A triumph of mid-19th-century historical sculpture, it is considered today to be Marochetti's masterpiece. Emmanuel-Philibert (1528-1580) was known for his military prowess and political innovations which strengthened the power of the house of Savoy in Piedmont. The monumental equestrian group cast by Soyer et Ingé was inaugurated in Turin in 1838, following a brief exhibition outside the Louvre in Paris several months before, where it was greeted with great acclaim which furthered Marochetti's reputation in Parisian artistic circles. Marochetti closely oversaw the subsequent production of bronze reductions of this group, authorising a very small number of foundries including De Braux d'Anglure and Susse Frères to create it in various sizes.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

It is subsequently noted in the Furniture Gazette, 1 April 1885, that the final stock of Kerby and Sons, who were by that time located at 108 New Oxford Street, had been sold at auction, 25 March of the same year, by Messrs. Brown & Tooth of Oxford Street.https://bifmo.furniturehistorysociety.orgHowever the distinctive dot-and-trellis parquetry decoration on the offered lot is arguably more characteristic of, or recognisable as, the work of Donald Ross, who was inspired by the oeuvre of the 18th century French cabinetmakers Garnier and Sené.

Also, Ross exhibited in the 1851 Great Exhibition alongside the most important designers and makers of the time.
