A magnificent and rare pair of large Louis XVI style gilt and bronze 'Ryhton' form cornucopia boar chenets / firedogs after Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart (French, 1739 –1813) A magnificent and rare pair of large Louis XVI (1754 –1793) style chenets / firedogs in gilt and bronze. The chenets depict 'Ryhton' form cornucopia with fruiting swags that wrap and fall at the back, and a boar's heads resting on bronze plinths, with a gilt frieze.
After architect Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart (French, 1739 –1813), whose son Alexandre Brongniart became a respected director of the Louvre. The Louvre has a pair of Sevres/Sèvres vases by Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart of similar form and shape, said to be the most astonishing pieces created in Sèvres during the First Empire. Brongniart derived the shapes from ancient Rhyton drinking vessels. The ‘Ryhton’ form originates from the ancient Greeks, a conical horn shape, typically formed into the shape of an animal's head.
French, circa 1860.
