Catalogue Note
Les modèles des figures d'esclaves reviennent à Pietro Tacca (1577-1640) et ornent le socle du monument à Ferdinand de Medicis sur la place della Darsena à Livourne. Tacca était le sculpteur des Medicis, succédant à son maître Jean de Bologne en 1608.
Une paire de chenets identique a été vendue par Sotheby's New York le 1er novembre 1986 (lot 30), ils provenaient de la collection Patino.
Une autre paire de chenets apparaît sur une photographie du grand salon de l'hôtel de Camondo, 61 rue de Monceau en 1876, par ailleurs meublé par la maison Fourdinois (voir illustration).
