  1. François-Thomas Germain, For the seal bearer of King Louis XV: The ecritoire of Jean-Baptiste de Machault d'Arnouville, Silver, porcelain, mirror pane, bronze, gilding. An ecritoire formed as a detailed model of a sailing boat with mast and rigging placed upon a glass mirror pane resembling still water and mounted on an ormolu base with raised rococo décor. The inkwell and pounce box concealed within the two barrels on the deck and with small lidded compartments in the fish traps at the stern of the boat. The raised anchor can be seen at the bow, and below the stern the rudder formed as a finely chased dolphin. On the port side we see tiny fish and crustaceans caught in a finely knotted silver net, the starboard side fitted with a candlestick with two nozzles. When the fabric sail is unfolded, it forms a screen to protect from the light. A large cylindrical clock with a white enamel dial over the stern of the boat entwined by a climbing rose with polychrome Vincennes porcelain flowers that extends up towards the rigging.
