Notes

Chaque applique présente un fût à enroulements d'acanthe à la base, terminé d'un bouton à graines rehaussé d'une corolle feuillagée. Il s'en échappe en partie haute trois bras en console, ciselés à motifs de faisceaux, soulignés de larges feuilles d'acanthe formant une boucle fleuronnée. Ils sont terminés chacun d'une bobèche circulaire feuillagée, au pourtour enrichi d'un filet de perles, le tout supportant un binet en forme de bulbe enveloppé d'acanthes. Couronnant chaque applique, un vase oblong et cannelé, d'où s'échappe de la fumée, est cerclé d'un bandeau à boutons et anneaux. Un imposant ruban, noué autour d'une patère évasée et trilobée, couronne le tout, fixé aux deux anneaux latéraux du vase. Une paire d'appliques similaires aux nôtres a fait partie de la collection Keck à New York. Le modèle de nos appliques constitue une rare variante d'un modèle de bras traditionnellement attribué soit à l'atelier des Caffieri, soit à celui de Jean-Claude Duplessis (vers 1695-1774) pareillement orné d'un imposant naeud de ruban simulant le mode d'attache - modèle appelé « bras antique » dans les mémoires des fondeurs du XVIIIe siècle - et dont deux paires furent livrées en 1777 par le fondeur Quentin-Claude Pitoin (vers 1725-1777) au Louvre pour servir dans les appartements d'Antoine-Jean Amelot de Chaillou (1732-1795), Ministre de la Maison du Roi de 1776 à 1783 : « Pour servir dans l'appartement de Monsieur Amelot au Louvre. Avoir fourni deux paires de bras antique à deux branches dorés d'or moulu, la plaque en forme de guêne orné sur la face d'une feuille d'ornement, les branches prennent naissance au côté de la plaque faisant un tour de volute dans le milieu, orné de feuilles d'ornement dessus et dessous, les bassins orné de feuille d'eau et les bobeches ornés de cannelures creuses, sur le haut de la plaque est un bouquet de fleurs terminé par un naeud de ruban et le bas de la plaque par un paquet de lauriers et graines, à 500 l. la paire, 1000 l. ». Une suite de quatre appliques à deux lumières de ce modèle, peut-être celles d'Amelot de Chaillou, est aujourd'hui conservée au château de Fontainebleau . Signalons également une autre variante, à trois lumières cette fois-ci, conservée dans une collection particulière en Allemagne, et reproduite dans l'ouvrage de référence de Hans Ottomeyer et Peter Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen. Die Bronzearbeiten des Spätbarock und Klassizismus, publié à Munich en 1986 .
