拍品专文

The use of tôle or lacquered tin on furniture and decorative objects was very fashionable in the 18th Century, as a substitute to the more precious and rare oriental lacquer.
Two closely related pairs of gilt-japanned cache-pots, from the Wildenstein Collection, were sold, Christie's, London, 14 December 2005, lots 6 and 7, and another pair is in the musée Carnavalet, Paris (illustrated in Collection Henriette Bouvier, Paris, 1968, No. 20).
A further pair of tôle seaux à bouteille, signed 'François Louis Dorez' is illustrated in J. Whitehead, The French Interior in the 18th Century, London, 1992, p.192.
