Pair of Louis XVI Gilt and Patinated Bronze Sphinx Chenets
Located in Kittery Point, ME
Each with a recumbent winged sphinx with scrolling foliate arabesques to their back, upon a bow-ended rectangular gadrooned plinth, the frieze with a panel applied with entrelacs, on fluted toupie feet.
Several models of chenets with sphinx exist, dating from the 1780s.

This model is based on a drawing by the architect François-Joseph Bélanger in the Bibliothèque Nationale, illustrated op. cit., fig. 4.11.13. Another type of sphinx chenet...
