Lot Essay

The Royal Hunting Service, or La Service de Chasse de Fontainebleau was purchased by Louis-Philippe I King of the French between 1839-1841, having been ordered on 26 June 1835. The original service consisted of over 2,000 pieces, and the decoration was based on drawings by Jean-Charles François Leloy. For a discussion of the service, see Gérard Barbe, Le Service du Roi Louis Philippe au Château de Fontainebleau (Paris, 1988), pls. V, X, XIII, XIV, XVI and the drawings by Leloy; also Tamara Préaud, ed., The Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory, Alexandre Brogniart and the Triumph of Art and Industry, 1800-1847, The Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts, New Haven, Exhibition Catalogue (1997), pp. 378-380, no. 154 a-c.
