细节 AN IMPERIAL VIENNA PORCELAIN BREAKFAST-SERVICECIRCA 1775-1780, BLUE SHIELD MARKS, PAINTER’S PUCE MARK 62 FOR FRANZ GÄRTNER, VARIOUS IMPRESSED NUMERALSPainted in green and pink and enriched in gilding to imitate the fabric atlasdekor, comprising: a rectangular tray with pierced border, two jugs and covers, a small two handled oval basket, two cups and saucers, in an apparently original gilt-tooled red leather caseThe case: 5 1/2 in. (14 cm.) high; 16 in. (40.5 cm.) wide; 13 1/4 in. (40.5 cm.) deep 来源 By family tradition offered before 1789 by Queen Marie-Antoinette to her dame du Palais, Louise-Charlotte-Henriette-Philippine de Noailles (1745-1832), Marquise de Duras, Duchesse de Durfort, then Duchesse de Duras.Thence by descent until sold, Le Floch, Saint-Cloud, France, 13 October 2019, lot 109, where sold by the descendants of Louise-Charlotte-Henriette-Philippine de Noailles (1745-1832). 注意事项 This lot has been imported from outside of the UK for sale and placed under the Temporary Admission regime. Import VAT is payable at 5% on the hammer price. VAT at 20% will be added to the buyer’s premium but will not be shown separately on our invoice.According to family tradition, this exceptional 'dejeuner' service, kept in its original red leather case, was a gift from Queen Marie-Antoinette to Louise-Henriette-Charlotte-Philippine, Duchess de Duras, née de Noailles (1745-1832), who served as ‘dame du palais’ (lady in waiting) to the Queen from 1774 to 1789. The service has remained in the collection of her descendants until recently. Comprising a shaped pierced tray, two baluster hot-milk-jugs and covers with elaborate flowerhead finials, two coffee cups and saucers and a two-handled small dish, the present service was executed circa 1775-1780 in the Imperial Porcelain Factory in Vienna (Kaiserlich privilegierte Porcellain Fabrique). The decoration was executed by the painter Franz Goertner (active from 1771, d. 1841), who is recorded under number ‘62’ in the factory’s employee records. The number ‘62’ appears in red to the underside of each piece, alongside the famous blue shield manufactory mark. Goertner is especially celebrated for the 'Atlasdekor' scheme used in the present service, which consists of an interlacing motif within an undulating band within a trellis border, painted in green and pink on a white ground. The scheme was inspired by the patterns found in French silks and brocade weavings of the first half of the 18th century; the word 'Atlas' meaning ‘satin’ or ‘satin armour’. Such motifs were also used in Meissen, and they form the oldest examples of abstract decorations in the history of European porcelain. Louise-Charlotte-Henriette-Philippine de Noailles, the apparent recipient of this service, was the daughter of Count Philippe de Noailles (1715-1794), Duke de Mouchy, Marshal of France, governer of Versailles and Guyana, and Anne-Claude-Louise d'Arpajon (1729-1794), première dame d'honneur of Queen Marie Leszczynska, and later to the dauphine Marie-Antoinette of Austria. On 10 December 1760, she married Emmanuel-Celeste-Augustin de Durfort (1741-1800), Marquis de Duras, 7th Comte de Rauzan, and 5th Duke de Duras, who occupied the position of premier gentilhomme de la chambre du Roi. Louise-Charlotte-Henriette-Philippine was appointed 16 February 1761, and in 1770 became dame pour accompagner la dauphine Marie-Antoinette, before her final appointment as lady-in-waiting to the Queen in 1774, a post she would hold until 1789. She survived the Revolution and died during the reign of Louis-Philippe I on 12 February 1832. The Vienna factory (Kaiserlich privilegierte Porcellain Fabrique) was the second in Europe to master the secrets of hard paste porcelain, only eight years after Meissen. It was founded in 1718 by court-official Claudius Innocentius Du Paquier (1678-1751) after receiving a signed 'Special Privilegium' from Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI, awarding him 25 years of imperial protection. However, it wasn't until acquiring the services of two workmen from Meissen – Christoph Conrad Hunger and Böttger's kiln-master Samuel Stölzel - that he achieved any success, finally creating hard paste porcelain in 1719. First built in the house of the Counts of Kueffstein, in the suburb of Rossau, the factory moved to the Breuners’ summer palace in 1721, before relocating once again to no. 51 Porzellangasse, present-day Julius Tandler-Platz. Four managers ran the small operation which initially comprised only one furnace and a total of ten workmen: Du Paquier, Peter Heinrich Zerder, the Viennese merchant Martin Becker and the Meissen defector, Christoph Conrad Hunger. A 'dejeuner' service of identical form, dated circa 1780, is in the collection of the K. K. Oesterreich Museum in Vienna (ill. Jacob von Falke's, K.K. Wiener Porzellan-Manufaktur, Vienna 1887, pl. IX, cat. 92). Another closely related service circa 1760 belonged to Marie-Antoinette's mother Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and subsequently was part of the collection of Prince Nikolas Esterházy.
