Condition

In overall good conserved condition. The top: The colour of the hardstones and the depiction of the crockery is beautifully executed. There is a square piece of porphyry towards the bottom left corner which is of a different tonality to the rest and is a later replacement – this is visible from the catalogue photograph. There are minor hairline cracks to the top right and left corners of the porphyry ground. The base: Very attractive detail to carving and the gilt-bronze mounts are a little dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. The surface of the base with craquelure throughout and some fading in places to the tortoiseshell ground which would benefit from a repolish according to taste. There are very minor losses to tortoiseshell. There is a construction crack by one leg where it joins the frieze of the table but this can easily be filled. The rear left leg has been broken and restored and there appears to be another restoration to the reverse of the other leg.

拍品資料及來源

此桌是費迪南大公三世(Grand-Duke Ferdinand III)於1793年送予金斯基公爵(Prince Kinsky)的禮物。資料從阿爾瓦岡薩雷斯 - 帕拉西奧斯(Stato by Alvar-González-Palacios)近期編纂之國家檔案研究釋出,並使此桌成為深入認識佛羅倫薩大公爵工坊(Florentine Grand Ducal Workshops)彩色硬石鑲嵌作坊(Opificio della Pietre Dure)出品的重要佐證。

桌面設計生動鮮明,近乎超脫現實,不規則的石板配以多西亞軟瓷構圖,猶如於半空懸浮,疑幻疑真。此作源自安東尼奧‧喬奇(Antonio Cioci)之設計,其為彩色硬石鑲嵌作坊之首席設計師。底座於十九世紀中期由安東•施陶丁格製作,是維也納頂級製櫃大師之一,開創路易十五風格之布勒細工鑲嵌設計,極盡奢華,與當代美學品味完美接軌。

金斯基公爵三世弗朗茨•保羅•烏爾里希(Franz de Paul Ulrich)是波希米亞家族之重要一員,其與哈布斯堡-洛林(Habsburg-Lorraine)皇朝關係密切。金斯基公爵在軍事職務上成就超卓,戰績彪炳,曾多次出征「七年戰爭」,在沙場上屢受傷困。他一直從皇家軍將級別擢升至元帥,其為最高軍銜,地位超然。
