Denis-Louis Ancellet, maître in 1766.
This 'console desserte' was undoubtedly commissioned by the celebrated marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre, who subcontracted the model to numerous ébénistes, most of the extant examples being stamped by either Adam Weisweiler or Martin Carlin (see P. Lemmonier, Weisweiler, Paris, 1983, p.131).
The basic form was perhaps originally conceived by Daguerre for the banquier de la Cour, Jean-Joseph de Laborde. A suite of four console dessertes of this model, comprising a set of three sold in Paris on 13 June 1979, lot 89 and a further example by Carlin sold by Baron Guy de Rothschild from the Château de Ferrières, Sotheby's Monaco, 3 December 1994, lot 96 (FFR. 976,800), was supplied for the rez-de-chausée of his hôtel in the rue d'Artois. In the Revolution, Laborde was arrested and then executed in 1794, and his collections were seized. In 1796, after the Terror, his widow pursued the restitution of the collection. In the Inventory that followed their installation in the dépôt, they were described as 'Quatre tables en consoles de 36 pouces de large 15 po de profondeur, 34 po de haut, en bois d'acajou avec colonnes sur les cotés et cannelures en cuivre poncé, deux tablettes entre les pieds, les carderons, moulures, embases et brettés en bronze doré d'or moulu. Le dessus et les tablettes en marbre blanc, celui de dessus est échancré..'
These measurements are the equivalent of 92 cm. high, 97 cm. wide, 40.5 cm. deep. Returned to Laborde's widow in 1796, the suite of four was sold before 1800.
Console dessertes of this design were also presumably sold by Daguerre to the Earl of Ashburnham for Ashburnham Place, Sussex and can be seen in situ in 'Ashburnham place, Sussex', Country Life, 29 January 1916, pp.147 and 150.
DOMININIQUE DAGUERRE AND WEISWEILER
The heir to Simon-Philippe Poirier's (d. 1785) atelier, Daguerre specialised in supplying objets de luxe to the French Court and, following the Revolution particularly to the English nobility. Based in the rue St. Honoré, as his trade label reveals he 'Tient Magafin de Porcelaines, Bronzes, Ebinisterie, Glaces, Curiositiés, & autres Marchandifes'. In 1786, Daguerre signed an agreement with Josiah Wedgwood for the exclusive rights to sell Wedgwood's Jasperware in France, and in the following year he was commissioned to supply the furnishings for George, Prince of Wales at Carlton House, under the direction of Henry Holland. Opening a shop in Piccadilly, Daguerre supplied such figures as the Duke of York, Lady Holderness, Earl Spencer and the 5th Duke of Bedford.
