These torchères were formerly in the collection of the Rothschild family at Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, built between 1852 and 1854 by Baron Mayer Amschel de Rothschild (d. 1874). The 1884 catalogue of the contents of Mentmore describes a set of four marble figures from the château de Neuilly, the preferred residence of King Louis-Philippe (d. 1850) of which the present pair was part.

Amjad Rauf, International Head of Masterpiece and Private Sales: “There were fantastic results in this London Exceptional Sale. Rare and precious works were particularly applauded: including chased silver, pietra dura, inlaid marbles, gilt-bronze, lacquer, and more. Our clients were particularly captivated by the quality and rarity of the works offered, their breadth and range, spanning thousands of years.”

Peter Klarnet, Christie’s Senior Specialist, Americana, Books and Manuscripts: "We are so pleased with the excellent result this evening for the 'Ionic Original' disc of Bob Dylan's first new studio recording of "Blowin' in the Wind" since 1962. To work with such an incredibly important and groundbreaking advance in analogue playback technology is a tremendous honour. We are excited that this is just the beginning for this amazing new opportunity for recording artists to work with T Bone and NeoFidelity to reset the value of music."

T Bone Burnett, Founder of NeoFidelity Inc. and multi-Grammy-winning producer: “Marshall McLuhan said that a medium surrounds a previous medium and turns the previous medium into an art form, as film did with novels, as television did with film, as the internet has done with television, and as digital has done with analogue. With Bob Dylan’s new version of “Blowin’ In The Wind", our first Ionic Original archival analogue disc, we have entered and aim to help develop a music space in the fine arts market. I trust and hope it will mean as much to whomever acquired it today at Christie’s Exceptional Sale as it does to all of us who made it, and that they will consider it and care for it as a painting or any other singular work of art.”

Clementine Sinclair, Head of Old Masters Evening Sale: “The strong results of this evening’s Old Masters Sale were a testament to the strength and depth of the market. The sale achieved 83% by lot, the highest lot percentage for a London July Evening sale since 2012, with 48% of the Old Masters lots selling above the high end of the estimate. There were multiple bidders on all of the top lots, from Cranach’s sumptuous, large-scale Sleeping Water Nymph to Ruisdael’s beautifully understated early landscape, and den Uyl’s incredibly rare and original still life. The success of the two principal collections – the Lewis Collection and the Wetzlare Collection – which were both 100% sold, underlines the demand for works that are fresh to the market with notable provenance. We welcomed bidders from 16 countries and there was strong engagement from Asia across all schools.”
