Mid-19th Century Porcelain

Important biscuit porcelain group "The Three Graces", Manufacture de Sèvres Based on the famous dance group of the mummies from the tomb of Henri II by Dominique Florentin (Florence 1501/06 - 1570s Troyes) and Pilon, Germain (Paris, ca. 1528 - 1590), which has been in the Louvre since 1817. It is not possible to know when this group was made in Sèvres, as we do not know any comparison pieces and the hallmark does not allow us to situate it in time. It seems to date from the mid-19th century, as the gilded bronze mounts also correspond to this period. It is interesting to note the Size of the shaped pieces, which sometimes caused small deep firing cracks, probably already repaired by the factory.

Here is some more information about the history of the model: Placed in the Orléans chapel of the Célestins convent church in Paris (original arrangement known from a drawing in the Gaignières collection). Group of the Three Graces, commissioned from Pilon and paid for between 1561 and 1566. Base executed by Dominique Florentin after a model by Jean Picard...
