:

A. Pedrini, Il ferro battuto sbalzato e cesellato in Italia dal secolo XI al secolo XVIII. Quarta edizione, Turin, 1969, p. 270-271, fig. 456-457.

N. Gabrielli, Racconigi, Turin, 1972, p. 95.

Catalogue note

This chandelier is part of a small group of polychrome decorated metalworks which the workshops in and around Turin specialized in.

A similar example with embossed polychrome flowers and leaves in the Chinese Apartment at Racconigi is illustrated in Gabrielli, op. cit., p. 95 (fig. 1). Built around 1757 at the behest of Ludovico Vittorio of Savoy, 4th prince of Carignano, the sumptuous, Rococo rooms of the Apartment feature hand-painted wallpaper on rice paper, purchased in London and perfectly preserved thanks to the application on special wooden frames.

Two comparably fashioned chandeliers are illustrated by Pedrini in his volume on Italian wrought iron: one at Villa Accorsi, Moncalieri and one with porcelain flowers in the collection of Isaia Levi, Turin (Pedrini, op. cit., figs. 456-457).

Ce lustre fait partie d'un petit groupe d'oeuvres en métal à décor polychrome dont les ateliers de Turin et des environs se sont fait une spécialité.

Un exemple similaire, avec des fleurs et des feuilles polychromes repoussées, dans l'appartement chinois de Racconigi, est illustré dans Gabrielli, op. cit. p. 95 (fig. 1). Construites vers 1757 à la demande de Ludovic Vittorio de Savoie, quatrième prince de Carignano, les somptueuses pièces rococo de l'Appartement sont ornées de papiers peints sur papier de riz, achetés à Londres et parfaitement conservés grâce à leur application sur des cadres en bois spéciaux.

Deux lustres de facture comparable ont été illustrés par Pedrini dans son ouvrage sur le fer forgé italien : l'un à la Villa Accorsi, Moncalieri et l'autre avec des fleurs en porcelaine dans la collection d'Isaia Levi, Turin (Pedrini, op. cit., fig. 456-457).
