A pair of Louis XVI gilt-bronze "au chien" fire dogs after Caffieri, circa 1780

(2)

Height. 14 1/2 in, width. 10 1/4 in

-----------------------------------------------

Paire de chenets "au chien" en bronze doré d'époque Louis XVI d'après Caffieri, vers 1780

(2)

Haut. 37 cm, larg. 26 cm

Catalogue note

This model with dogs is very rare, only few examples are known. But the model is inspired by a pair of firefogs with a dog and a cat made by Philippe Caffieri, illustrated in E. S. Eriksen, Early Neoclassicims in France, 1974, pl. 223.

A pair of similar firedogs has been sold at Christie's New York, on November 12th 1981, lot 34. Other examples have been sold, like Sothey's Monaco, 23 June 1976, lot 146; vente Sotheby's Monaco, 21 June 1988, lot 800.

Ce modèle rare avec les chiens, dont one connait peu d'exemples, est à rapprocher d'une paire réalisée par Philippe Caffieri, illustrée dans E. S. Eriksen, Early Neoclassicims in France, 1974, pl. 223 avec un chien et un chat.

Une paire de chenets similaire a été vendue chez Christie's New York, le 12 novembre 1981, lot 34. D'autres exemples sont également passés en vente, voir vente Sothey's Monaco, 23 juin 1976, lot 146; vente Sotheby's Monaco, 21 juin 1988, lot 800.
