Exceptional portrait box featuring Louis XIV and Maria Theresa of Austria. Enameled portraits by Jean I Petitot on gold, diamonds mounted on silver. Circa 1660 - 1680. H. 50 mm. Width: 71 mm. Gross weight : 47 g. This double enameled portrait of Louis XIV and his first wife Marie-Thérèse of Austria is one of the many diplomatic presents used by the Sun King to secure the allegiance of powerful people. Known as a portrait box, this type of object derives from the "boettes d'or servantes à mettre un portrait", precious cases protecting the fragile paintings on vellum intended to reveal the faces of their patrons. Under Louis XIV, the containers gradually gave way to their contents, with the enamelled portraits now displayed in a sumptuous surround of diamonds taken from the famous Golconde mines. Our "box" features two gold-enameled oval miniatures, set in a slightly closed corner, each surrounded by 14 large diamonds. The whole is topped by a crown of diamonds, all set in silver. The reverse features two oval medallions, also enameled on gold, with a turquoise-blue background, known as "bleu mourant", one featuring the figure of King Louis XIV, the other that of Maria Theresa of Austria. These medallions are set within enamelled borders of black and pink foliate scrolls, while the reverse of the crown is set with an enamelled field echoing the decoration on the obverse, all in a style later adopted by silversmith Thomas Lejuge in his 1676 collection of models, himself inspired by the productions of Jean Pittan and Laurent Le Tessier de Montarsy, who supplied a number of portrait boxes. Among the 121 diamonds making up this piece, one of which is missing today, all 28 diamonds surrounding the portraits are rose-cut with six main triangular facets (except one, which is table-cut). This perimeter is punctuated by smaller diamonds in closed settings. Four teardrop-cut diamonds are pear-shaped, three of which are set on the crown and one in the middle. The technique used to make our "boëte" is very similar to the one in the Louvre Museum. We find the same diamond cut, the same setting, the same way of incorporating the figured medallions into their enamel frame, and the same enamel crown decoration on the reverse. Louis XIV and his wife Marie Thérèse are depicted as young men. The two enamel portraits are attributable to Jean Petitot l'Ancien, the famous miniaturist whom Dezallier d'Argenville described a century later as the "Raphael of enamel painting". The King is depicted in armor, draped in a leontée and wearing the ribbon of the Order of the Holy Spirit. An identical enamel portrait, given to Jean Petitot l'Ancien, is preserved at the Musée National de la Renaissance in Écouen (inv. E .Cl. 20864). The portrait of the Queen was inspired by a portrait painted by Charles Beaubrun at the time of the marriage of Louis XIV and his wife. This portrait was reproduced in engraving by Nicolas Pitau (see below) and inspired other enamel portraits of the Queen by Jean I Petitot, including one very similar to ours in the Louvre (inv. 35678). A double portrait for a special occasion This double portrait presentation is unusual in relation to other portrait boxes preserved, but not totally unprecedented. The Victoria & Albert Museum, for example, holds a watch case featuring portraits of Louis XIII and his loyal Cardinal Richelieu. This unique enamel representation of the royal couple, however, raises questions about its purpose and, consequently, the identity of its recipient. A study of the available accounting and diplomatic archives concerning royal gifts suggests three hypotheses: - A gift made to celebrate the marriage of the King and Maria Theresa - A gift offered by the queen herself. - A gift in gratitude for the condolences offered at the time of the queen's death. Condition report Exceptional condition of the mounting and enamel on the enamelled portrait of Louis XIV, veiling in the upper right-hand section on the portrait of Maria Theresa of Austria due to subsequent alteration. Small chips to the enamel on the reverse and possible slight reworking to the numerals. A small diamond rose is missing in the lower center.

BOREK SIPEK (Prague, Czech Republic, 1949-2016) for DRIADE. "Odette." "Follies" collection, ca. 1989. Fruit bowl. Glazed ceramic and silver-plated metal. In two pieces. With manufacturer's mark on the base. Measurements: 42,5 x 43 x 43 cm. On a spindle-shaped foot sits the wide tulip of the fruit bowl, whose design emulates an open flower with perimeter highlighted by tri-lobed profiles. It is a design by Borek Sipek, one of the key figures of postmodernist craftsmanship. His unique and unparalleled language is the bearer of the "neo-baroque" label, crossing national borders and becoming a benchmark in the international market. In its apparent random mix of styles from different periods and materials hides an elaborate study based on calculation and technical innovation. In this way, organic shapes combine with sharp corners and edges, while the multiplicity of materials used (metal, leather, porcelain, blown glass, etc.) give his creations a unique and totally transgressive character. Decorated Borek Sipek trained in interior design at the School of Arts and Crafts in Prague. He completed his studies in Architecture at the University of Applied Arts in Hamburg and Philosophy at the Technical University of Stuttgart, later establishing his design studio in Amsterdam in 1983. In the 1980s he began collaborating with Driade, for whom he designed furniture and objects characterized by their tremendous originality, a collaboration that was decisive for the success of his career. At Driade he became one of the brand's main collaborators alongside Philippe Starck, Oscar Tusquets and Antonia Astori. He was later one of the initiators of the construction of the Ajeto glass factory to support the traditions of Bohemian glassblowing, where the best craftsmen were dedicated to the creation of high-end pieces. He firmly entered Milan's design circles, where he was invited to collaborate with Alessi, Cleto Murani, Sawaya & Moroni, Wittmann and the Swiss brand Vitra. In the late 1980s, he traveled to Asia, where he became acquainted with the Japanese polychrome lacquer technique: he created an atypical Urushi Arai collection, where his usual techniques for glass were rendered in wood. Throughout his career he has received numerous awards, including the honorable mention in the German Architecture Prize (1983), the Dutch Kho Liang Le Dutch Kho Liang Design Award (1989), La Croix Chevalier dans l'ordre des Arts et Lettres by the French government (1991), the Prince Bernhard Fonds Award for Architecture and Applied Arts of the Netherlands (1993) and the Talent De L'Originalite" - Le Sommet du Luxe et de la Creation award, among others. Between 1990 and 2003 he held the title of court architect of Prague Castle appointed by Václav Havel, president of the former Czechoslovakia, later the Czech Republic.

BOREK SIPEK (Prague, Czech Republic, 1949-2016) for DRIADE. Vase. Glazed porcelain. With maker's mark on the base. It has a small flaking on the ring on the base. Measurements: 46 x 23 x 23 cm. Vase designed by Borek Sipek, a key figure of postmodernist craftsmanship. The object is inspired by the shape of a mushroom, which gives it an organic and imaginative morphology. Borek Sipek trained in interior design at the Prague School of Arts and Crafts. He completed his studies in Architecture at the University of Applied Arts in Hamburg and Philosophy at the Technical University of Stuttgart, later establishing his design studio in Amsterdam in 1983. In the 1980s he began collaborating with Driade, for whom he designed furniture and objects characterized by their tremendous originality, a collaboration that was decisive for the success of his career.

A fine example of this very rare medal with an attractive brown patina. (The blanks have been cleaned and scraped; a few dents on the edge and scratches behind the portrait of Anne de Bretagne). This medal was presented to the sovereigns by the city of Lyon in 1499, when they entered the city on March 15, 1500. It was produced by several Lyon artists: Nicolas Leclerc, Jean de Saint-Priest, Jean and Colin Lepère. Anne de Bretagne married Charles VIII in 1491. But she remained Duchess and Sovereign of Brittany. Then, in 1498, Charles VIII died accidentally. Anne returned to her duchy. In 1499, Anne became Queen of France again, marrying Louis XII, who had hastily repudiated his first wife. The duchy remained separate from the crown. Finally, in 1514, Anne de Bretagne died and her daughter, Claude de France, inherited the duchy. She married François d'Angoulême, the future François I. In 1532, Claude ceded her duchy to the crown. François I had this definitive union of Brittany and France ratified by the Parliament of Vannes. A bronze medal depicting the King and Queen Louis XII and Anne of Brittany, 1498-1515
