Special notice

On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property. This is such a lot. This indicates both in cases where Christie's holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Christie's has financed all or a part of such interest through a third party. Such third parties generally benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful. ƒ: In addition to the regular Buyer’s premium, a commission of 5.5% inclusive of VAT of the hammer price will be charged to the buyer. It will be refunded to the Buyer upon proof of export of the lot outside the European Union within the legal time limit. (Please refer to section VAT refunds) This item will be transferred to an offsite warehouse after the sale. Please refer to department for information about storage charges and collection details.

Descriptif du lot

Cette paire de fauteuils est à rapprocher d'un ensemble mobilier exécuté pour un certain nombre de palais napolitains à la fin du XVIIIème siècle, pour les membres de la cour de Ferdinand IV et Marie-Caroline de Bourbon. Les bras joliment sculptés se terminant en colombes, leur mouvement et la dorure nuancée font écho au mobilier du cabinet de toilette de la reine Marie Caroline au palais de Caserta.
