A rare Irish chimneypiece of grand proportions in statuary marble. The generous moulded shelf rests over a wide panelled frieze which is mounted with a tablet of exceptional quality. It depicts a recumbent Poseidon, god of the sea, being drawn on a seashell chariot by hippocampi, all carved in an artful blend of high and low relief. This scene is flanked by the most glorious endblocks, each a crouching Aphrodite, situated within a scallop shell. These crouch above freestanding Doric columns. The strikingly simple elegance of the chimneypiece is a perfect foil for the beautifully carved tablet and spectacular endblocks.

Irish, c.1820.

Provenance: Raheen House, Raheen, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, Southern Ireland. By repute, the chimneypiece was installed at Raheen House by the then owners of the house, the Burke family, circa 1889, when they apparently acquired it in lieu of a part payment for a warehouse. This commercial building was purchased by the Loreto Convent of Clonmel to be used as a religious school when their own school was damaged by fire.

An exceptionally rare chimneypiece by Robert Adam.

This chimneypiece is an exciting new discovery. Commissioned by General John Burgoyne (1722-1792) for the eating room of his London residence at 10 Hertford St, Mayfair, it was designed by Robert Adam to embrace the Italian Neoclassicism both patron and architect had enjoyed during their time in Italy.

Burgoyne was a professional soldier, and despite being the son of a Baronet he relied on his military income. In 1743, he eloped with Lady Charlotte Stanley and as a result the pair were denied Lady Charlotte’s dowry, forcing them into and an extended trip to Europe to avoid their creditors in 1749.

It was in Aix-en-Provence that the couple struck up a friendship with the young architect, meeting him again in Florence, and visiting him at his apartments in Rome on several occasions. When their fortune had been restored by the generosity of Lady Charlotte’s father, the couple sought an architect to design the interiors for their new home they had leased on Hertford St. Naturally they engaged their friend Robert Adam, who set about designing the interior mouldings, chimneypieces and furniture for the fourteen rooms. Many of the drawings for these interiors survive in the Sir John Soane archive. At this time, Robert Adam was still Architect of the King’s Works, so Burgoyne had employed the very best architect to finish his new home.

Adam’s grand tour similarly started in France, and continued to Florence and Rome, where he met Giovanni Battista Piranesi, an established architect and printmaker known for his fantastical drawings of ancient ruins and precise interpretation of classicism. The pair enjoyed many drawing excursions together, the product of which became an essential marketing tool for the young architect, who sent these sketches back to England to win business, which it did. Within five years of his return to England, Adam was swamped with work.

What makes this chimneypiece so interesting is undoubtedly its association and stylistic similarities with Piranesi, with whom Adam shared a close friendship. We know for certain that this chimneypiece was designed after Adam’s time in Rome, having been commissioned by Burgoynes in 1769. Interestingly, this is the date of publication for Piranesi’s volume of chimneypiece designs, his Diverse Manière Cammini, which comprises 62 fanciful designs designed to be a complete departure from the Italian neoclassicism which emerged in the Renaissance.

This chimneypiece is not only Italianate in design, it is also constructed very much in the Italian manner, utilising 4 large blocks of marble which were hewn into shape from the whole. In contrast, English chimneypiece construction of this period was more aligned with cabinetmaking, using sheets of marble that were joined together. Here, the tablet and endblocks have been let in, and it is perhaps the case that the chimneypiece was made in Italy under instruction from Robert Adam and was finished in England. The carving is exquisite and bears many similarities to a design Piranesi published in his volume. Simple in form, the shelf features a small egg and dart moulding above crisply carved dentil and leaf and dart mouldings. This is supported by a generous frieze, inset with panels of verde antico marble centred by an urnular tablet, and flanked by endblocks carved with candlestands, which also bear resemblance to Piranesi’s design. The verde antico is also inset on the jambs, and the opening is framed with more exquisitely carved leaf and dart, which continues around the footblocks. This chimneypiece is very substantial in size, and is a truly innovative piece of 18th century design, and a striking departure from other English chimneypieces of the same date.

English, c.1769.

A charming and imposing Louis XV style antique Rococo chimneypiece in Fleur de Pêche Marble with exceptional ormolu mounts by Francois Linke (1855-1946). The serpentine shelf rests above a panelled frieze centred with an applied ormolu shell cartouche, cushioned on trailing acanthus leaves, above a wide serpentine opening. The tapering, canted jambs, embellished with very fine applied ormolu female terms and with delicate ormolu foliate mounts at each foot, are supported on elegant footblocks. French, late 19th century.

Notes: Francois Linke was a leading Parisian ébéniste of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and this fireplace was almost certainly commissioned by a client around that time. His signature can be clearly seen on the shoulder of the female term to the left.

In the nineteenth-century, François Linke was considered one of the finest cabinet makers and designers in France, and one of the finest in the world. Born in the small village of Pankraz in Bohemia - now Jitrava in the Czech Republic - François Linke was the second son of eleven siblings. His father was a farmer and sent François to be apprenticed to a local cabinetmaker at just thirteen years of age, after which he settled in Paris in 1878; only five years after his apprenticeship had been completed.

The applied ormolu decorations designed by Léon Messagé were an essential part of Linke’s allure and brought him to the forefront of the Paris makers of meubles de haut luxe. At the famous Exposition Universelle in 1900, one of Linke’s finest items - a grand bureau - won a gold medal. The Art Journal reported in 1900 on Linke’s stand:
‘The work of M. Linke … was an example of what can be done by seeking inspiration amongst the classic examples of Louis XV and XVI without in any great sense copying these great works. M. Linke’s work was original in the true sense of the word, and as such commended itself to the intelligent seeker after the really artistic things of the Exhibition. Wonderful talent was employed in producing the magnificent pieces of furniture displayed...’

Linke’s work was so fine that he was invited to undertake an extraordinary commission to furnish the Ras al-Tin Palace in Alexandria with over 1,000 pieces of furniture and decoration for King Fuad of Egypt; the single largest furniture commission ever conceived, which eclipsed even Versailles. It is here that other examples of his exquisite marble and ormolu chimneypieces can be found.

The designs for these majestic Rococo chimneypieces were in fact inspired by the chimneypieces of Versailles. These were designed in the late 18th century by Jacques Verberckt with gilt bronze mounts by Jacques Caffiéri. The two master craftsmen embodied the Louis XV Rocaille style of the eighteenth-century. When Linke and Messagé were allowed access to these designs, they sought to reproduce both the style and quality for a nineteenth-century audience. As a result, the Louis XV style saw a great revival. The chimneypiece in our collection has figural ormolu mounts almost identical to those found in the sumptuous Council Cabinet of Versailles. Linke has subtly updated the design by choosing a soft, fleur de pecher marble to provide the perfect backdrop for the glowing ormolu.

This chimneypiece is a testament to both Linke and Messagé's exquisite craftsmanship and represents the finest of nineteenth-century design. If you would like any further information about this piece, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
