Bouilloire à thé, réchaud et guéridon

1724–25
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 512
Cette monumentale bouilloire sur guéridon a très probablement été fabriquée pour le mariage, en 1724, de George Bowes, de Streatham Castle, avec la riche héritière Eleanor Verney. Présent coûteux, à n’en pas douter : le trépied aux ondulations audacieuses est moulé en argent massif. Cette pièce est très rare, la majeure partie des services en argent de l’époque ayant été fondus, et le métal vendu. L’ ensemble est remarquable pour ses élégantes courbes baroques, le moulage précis et la finesse de la gravure. L’orfèvre, Simon Pantin, fut l’un des nombreux artisans français d’obédience huguenote à exercer son art à Londres.
