Inkstand ca. 1753 Design attributed to Francesco Ladatte In this virtuosic execution of spiraling scrolls Boucheron has defined the French-oriented character of the Rococo style in Turin. Although more solid and robust, our inkstand recalls one made in Paris in 1746-47 by the court silversmith Thomas Germain. Boucheron may have known this piece, as he is said to have trained in Germain's studio in the 1730s and is shown in a later portrait surrounded by examples of Germain's silver. The actual model of the Museum's inkstand is not necessarily Boucheron's, however, and may well have been the creation of his compatriot Francesco Ladatte (1706-1787), who had practiced as a designer and sculptor in Paris before returning to Turin in 1744. Both artists worked for the court of SavoyLadatte as sculptor, Boucheron as silversmithand they are known to have collaborated on at least one occasion. That our piece was destined for the court is evident from the coat of arms of the House of Savoy eng
