Description
CHANTILLY Manufactory – 18th century A soft-paste porcelain saucer from the Ménagerie service, decorated in shades of blue, depicts the coat of arms of the Bourbon-Condé family resting upon a bundle of flags and surrounded by the ribbons of Saint Michael and the Holy Spirit beneath the crown of a prince of the blood. A blue border enhances the rim. On the reverse, a mark of a hunting horn and the letter ‘P’ in blue under a glaze. Circa 1765. H.: 2.4 cm; Diam.: 12.5 cm. Visible damage. The ‘service aux armes’ is known only from the menagerie at the Château de Chantilly, and this allows these pieces to be identified as part of that same service, as the word ‘Ménagerie’ is inscribed only on the plates. The Chantilly Menagerie was established in the late 17th century and served as a place for strolling at that time. Louis-Joseph de Bourbon-Condé carried out major alterations to the park from 1762 onwards, and maintenance work was organised at the Menagerie from the 1750s onwards. Some of the pavilions were refurbished in 1769 and 1770 to accommodate guests at the festivities and entertainments organised regularly by the prince. The silver service for the Ménagerie dates from around 1765, owing to the acquisitions made by Louis-Joseph de Bourbon-Condé, a young prince who commissioned a new set between 1761 and 1766 at the Chantilly silverworks to furnish his table at the château.
