A VERY RARE 11-BORE GERMAN SILVER-MOUNTED FLINTLOCK FOWLING-PIECE IN THE MADRID FASHION, BY JOHANN WILHELM BONGARDE, DÜSSELDORF, BUILT ON AN EARLIER BARREL AND LOCK BY HERMANN (ARMAND) BONGARDE, CIRCA 1725-30 the barrel and the lock circa 1700, each finely decorated with minutely detailed chiselled classical ornament characteristic of this maker, the barrel formed with a short flat drawn forwards over the breech to a chiselled small design of monsters` head scrolls, progressing to a chiselled elaborate tiered trophy formed of a pair of putti supporting a swagged pedestal bearing the figure of Mars, the putti perched above monsters` heads and a mask each issuant from a tulip head, the latter framed by festooned monsters` head scrolls and the base formed of an arrangement of classical armour and weapons, with a small chiselled design of symmetrical scrollwork at the median, and with large gold-lined vent and silver fore-sight, the lock rounded, signed "Bongarde a Dusseldorp" (sic) and chiselled with trumpet-blowing putti seated within scrollwork below the pan and at the rear, the lip of the pan cut with a grotesque mask in miniscule, and the cock and the steel decorated with scrollwork en suite with the barrel (the upper part of the cock repaired), figured walnut half-stock decorated with finely carved mouldings and acanthus leaf ornament in low relief, Madrid-style fluted butt, the underside of the fore-end inset with a silver plaque pierced and engraved with an elaborate design of scrolling foliage heightened with silver pellets, decorated en suite behind the barrel tang and over the base of the comb, with silver butt-plate engraved with the quartered arms of the owner with supporters and crests, silver trigger-guard finely cast in relief with acanthus ornament, silver trigger-plate pierced and engraved with flowers and foliage, silver baluster ramrod-pipe, silver fore-end cap, and original ramrod with moulded silver cap 122 cm; 48 in barrel Further contemporaneous examples of sporting guns built by Johann Wilhelm Bongarde in the Madrid fashion, then popular in Germany, are preserved in the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Munich: see Hayward 1963 Volume II, p.102. Also see Schalkhauser 1988, cat. nos. 121-2, 124,127,129 and 133, pp.134-5, 137-140, 142-3. A further pair of Bongarde guns with carved stocks closely comparable with that of the present example, attributed perhaps incorrectly to the elder Hermann (Armand) Bongarde, were formerly in the collection of W.Keith Neal (Christies, 8 November 1995, lot 99). The present gun is the more unusual in being either a collaborative work involving father and son, or evidence at least of an early work by Johann Wilhelm built on stock-in-hand from his father`s workshop and presumably following his death in 1727. Hermann (Armand) Bongarde was the pre-eminent German gunmaker and iron chiseller of his age; he worked in the Classical Paris style closely linked to that of the court of Louis XIV, and his works frequently surpassed those of his contemporaries in Paris. Bongarde is first recorded in 1678, then in 1690 as armourer and court gunmaker to Johann Wilhelm of Neuburg, Elector Palatine and Duke of Jülich-Berg, which appointment he held until his death. Hermann Bongarde also made a magnificent garniture firearms for Karl-Leopold, Duke of Lorraine, now preserved in the Hofjagd-und Rüstkammer, Vienna (inv. nos. A 1636-38).
