A pair of Louis XVI gilt bronze candlestickscirca 1780, in the manner by Etienne Martincourt (French, act. 1762-1800)of flared torchiere and quiver of arrows form, the detachable drip pans with beaded edges, the wreath cast circular bases with fluted dished centres, the milled sides with applied rosettes, the swept tripod bracket supports cast with pendant fruiting laurel leaves, on bracket feet, 18.5cm high approximately Footnotes:A comparable pair of candlesticks, attributed to Etienne Martincourt with additional foliate wrapped garlands to the stems and stepped circular platform bases with varying decoration to the side panels which were formerly with the Seligmann Gallery, New York, later in the collection of George Blumenthal, later sold Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, December 2, 1932, lot 117, possibly sold, Palais Galliéra, December 13, 1962, lot 179 were subsequently sold Sotheby's, Les Dillée: A Dynasty of Experts And Collectors, Paris, 18 March 2015, lot 120. The design of these comparable candlesticks can be referenced to designs of the ornamentalist Jean-François Forty including two drawings kept in the drawing cabinet of the Museum of Decorative Arts (specifically inv. CD 5493), taken up by the engraving P. Gélis-Didot, which depict a base structured around three consoles. Another engraving published by Forty has greater stylistic similarities, including the winding of a garland of leaves around an axis. The three part openwork base is also reminiscent of the base of a pair of Martincourt torches at the Wallace Collection (F 166-7). For a near identical pair of unattributed candlesticks excepting the bases which are decorated with roundels rather than rosettes, see Sotheby's London, Louis XVI and Empire Furniture from the Estate of the late Giuseppe Rossi (Vol III), 12th March 1991, lot 1326.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 29
A Dutch late 17th/early 18th century carved giltwood figural tripod torchere1700-1710The dished circular top with a moulded surround, on a column modelled as an allegorical female term looking to dexter and surmounted by a stiff-leaf capital, the classically draped figure with one arm raised aloft and with a loose ribbon-tied floral garland over one shoulder, with a bellflower, acanthus and fish scale tapering columnar base, above a foliate clasped baluster, on scroll-hipped and acanthus carved S-scroll legs terminating in leaf wrapped feet, approximate measurements: 38.5cm diameter of top; 107cm highFootnotes:The offered lot is comparable to one of a pair of giltwood torcheres, dated circa 1700, which feature in R. Baarsen, Dutch Furniture, 1600-1800, 1993, Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, fig. 32, pp.'s 70-71. Both this model and the present candle stand appear to be directly based upon designs produced by Daniel Marot at approximately that time.According to Baarsen such herm (or term) figural torcheres, which employ the aesthetic of scrolls being surmounted by the straight angle of a column combined with distinctive S-scrolled tripod or triform bases, are among various characteristics seen in Marot designs. And these are both elements evident on this single example, whilst the overall design and carving of the above term is also closely related to this pair. However, the candle stands appearing in the Rijksmuseum book are larger in size and Baarsen suggests that smaller scale ones, such as the offered version, were typically more often made as part of a 'triad' of pieces tending to comprise a pier mirror, pier table and pair of torcheres. Unfortunately of course it is not clear for what purpose the present lot was originally made. Regardless of the Marot association, it is important to note that this kind of item was probably largely the work of Huguenots who had fled France following the negative socio-political repercussions for Protestants of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, which had been instigated by Louis XIV in 1685.LiteratureR. Baarsen, Dutch Furniture, 1600-1800, 1993, Rijksmuseum AmsterdamLiefkes, 1975; Baarsen, 1988-89, p. 21, fig. 14This 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.
