PAIRE DE MARQUISES « À LA REINE »
Par Claude CHEVIGNY
Reçu Maître Menuisier en sièges en 1768
Paris, vers 1780
Matériaux
Bois laqué blanc rechampi bleu
Estampillé C. CHEVIGNY
H. 99,5 cm, L. 82 cm, P. 55 cm
€ 60 000 - 80 000
Cette très élégante paire de marquises à dossier « à la reine » en « anse de panier » s'agrémente d'un très fin décor sculpté typique de l'art menuisier du règne de Louis XVI. L'ensemble du châssis a été recouvert de laque blanche rehaussée de bleu. Le dossier est surmonté au centre d'une feuille d'acanthe. Les consoles d'accotoir moulurées et cannelées s'agrémentent d'un décor de feuillages. La ceinture, ponctuée d'une frise de perles, repose sur quatre pieds fuselés, cannelés et rudentés.
L'auteur de ces marquises, Claude Chevigny, fut durant la seconde
moitié du XVIIIe siècle, célébré pour la qualité des proportions et
de la sculpture de ses sièges. Il est référencé rue de Cléry jusqu'aux
premiers jours de la Révolution.
Ses aeuvres portent le cachet de l'élégance, de la finesse et du souci
« du fini » poussé à l'extrême.
Aux lignes rigoureuses et aux pieds à cannelures rudentées de
ses sièges, Chevigny se plaît à joindre différents types de dossier,
médaillon, carré ou anse de panier. Il se distingua notamment pour
avoir travaillé pour le Duc de Choiseul au Château de Chanteloup, le
Duc de Montmorency pour son château de Modave en Belgique ou
pour le Marquis de Paulmy.
