Description
Joseph CHAUMET or CHAUMET & Cie A pair of silver-plated vegetable bowls with rocaille decoration; the lids are edged with a wave pattern, the bodies have broad ribs, the handles are ring-shaped, and the side handles are decorated with netting and ribbons. The lids are marked ‘ARP’, the initials of Anténor Rodriguez Patiño (1896–1982). The set was originally commissioned by his father, Simón Iturri Patiño, from Chaumet in 1918 and subsequently passed down to his son. Weight: 1.900 kg each Length including handles: approximately 32 cm Minerva hallmark and silversmith’s hallmark Provenance: - Commissioned in 1918 by Simón Iturri Patiño from Chaumet, then passed down to his son Anténor. - Mes Martin & Desbenoit auction, Versailles, 5 July 1987. - Private collection, Besançon, ever since Nicknamed the ‘Rockefeller of the Andes’, the multi-billionaire Simón Iturri Patiño was born in 1860 in Bolivia and died in 1947 in Buenos Aires. He made his fortune in the tin mining industry. He settled in France with his family in 1912. In 1918, he commissioned a major silver service from Chaumet, one of the few private commissions for silverware ever undertaken by the firm. Of his five children, his son Anténor (born in Bolivia in 1896 and died in New York in 1982) was a businessman and art collector, who amassed an exceptional collection of furniture and works of art. A dozen auctions took place following Anténor Patiño’s death, the first of which was organised by Sotheby’s in 1982. Our vegetable containers were acquired at a sale in Versailles in 1987, which included works of art from the Patiño collection, and have remained in this Besançon collection – now being offered for sale – ever since.
