Est: €30,000 - €50,000

Provenance : Acquis après de la Galerie Richard Redding, Zurich ; Collection privée, Monaco. Bibliographie comparative : P. Hughes, The Wallace Collection. Catalogue of Furniture, Vol. III, Londres, 1996, pp. 1193-1195. A pair of Regence gilt-bronze candlesticks, after a model by Corneille Van Clève (1645-1732) Une paire de bougeoirs quasiment identique fait partie des collections du musée du Louvre, donnée par Claude Sere en 2011 (INV. OA 12372). Ils y sont présentés comme étant d'après l'orfèvre Nicolas Delaunay (1646-1727) et le sculpteur Corneille van Clève (1646-1732). Ces candélabres ont notamment figuré dans l'exposition Royal Treasures from the Louvre : Louis XIV to Marie Antoinette, Musée des Beaux-Arts de San Francisco, 2013, p. 42, cat. 12. Une autre paire figure dans la collection Wallace à Londres (Inv. F28-29). Tous ces bougeoirs sont à rapprocher des modèles de Van Clève et en particulier du dessin qui lui est attribué, conservé à la bibliothèque des Staatliche Musée de Berlin (1). Ils constituent probablement les archétypes des modèles présentant des personnages avec des enfants sur leur dos ou des couples de personnages. Parmi les rares exemples passés sur le marché ces dernières années, rappelons la paire vendue chez Christie's Paris, le 23 avril 2013, lot 216 ou celle vendue chez Christie's Paris, le 6 novembre 2015, lot 610.

MANNER OF CORNEILLE VAN CLEVE (FRENCH, 1646-1732): A BRONZE GROUP OF VENUS EDUCATING CUPID
Est: £800 - £1,200
MANNER OF CORNEILLE VAN CLEVE (FRENCH, 1646-1732): A BRONZE GROUP OF VENUS EDUCATING CUPID depicting Venus seated on a draped rock with Cupid at her feet, looking up to her and holding a dove in his right hand, a further dove beside, on a naturalistic base, 31.5cm high This bronze displays numerous stylistic similarities to two other known bronze groups, 'Venus Disarming Cupid' and 'Psyche Discovering Cupid' which have traditionally been attributed to the renowned sculptor Corneille Van Cleve. Van Cleve studied under Anguier, and worked for numerous powerful religious and noble families across Europe but most notably for Louis XIV, he was in residence in the Louvre as a royal concession in 1703. Van Cleve was descended from a family of Flemish goldsmiths and it is perhaps this heritage which contributed to his skill and and specialism not only for his designs for small decorative objects but also for producing statuettes and other small scale cabinet bronzes of the highest quality, with features that are also apparent in the present example. There are casts of both 'Venus Disarming Cupid' and 'Psyche Discovering Cupid' in the Wallace Collection, both of which display similar physiognomies, themes and casting and finishing techniques to the present figural group. As well as the theatrical pose, the semi-erotic subject matter, the use of her attributes such as the doves; the workmanship and surface technique are also comparable. The distinction between the smooth polished surface of Venus's nude physique and the careful treatment of the numerous folds of the drapery and the extensively tooled, chiselled rock that supports her are typical of Van Cleve's work. The distinctive hairstyle of Venus and the minute stippling to the surface of her hair, contrasting with her smooth skin is also apparent in the other examples of this type. A near identical cast to the present bronze was sold at Christies, London, 4 December 2008, lot 158.
