- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 พ.ค. 2023
- To ensure the perennity of his lifelong project, Château du Champ de Bataille, French interior designer, Jacques Garcia has put 75 lots on sale from a Collection which took him 30 years to build.
These unique pieces of furniture and decorative arts illustrate a know-how dating back from Louis XIV craftsmanship of which has put France on the world stage of excellence and luxury.
Among these masters pieces, top lots include:
Adam Weisweiler’s console table -It could possibly be one of the last pieces royally commissioned by Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, and it surely had not yet been delivered as the king and queen had already been arrested..
The collection includes also one of the most important array of Sèvres porcelain.
A pair of large Lagrenée vases, probably proposed at the end of the 18th century to King Charles IV of Spain and later sold to Alexander Hamilton, British Ambassador to Russia, as well as a Sèvres porcelain fond bleu agate-ground ‘vase chinois’ probably purchased by Louis XVI between 1775 and 1788.
It also includes an important Sèvres porcelain ‘beau bleu’ armorial and ornithological part dinner service, after the designs of Buffon.
Other royal provenance pièces include a Louis XVI giltwood furniture set from Fontainebleau, stamped by George Jacob, circa 1780-1785 | Mobilier de salon en bois sculpté et doré d'époque Louis XVI provenant du château de Fontainebleau, estampille de Georges Jacob, vers 1780-1785.

Classic retro luxurious style 😎 😊❤
I want that estate and everything in it.
Yessss Christie business want to be the first. Why not 😊 this is a gorgeous collection 😊
Beautiful !
Dear Pete James, I too love all of the finer things in life mansions, vineyards, private jets, jewelry, furs, cognacs and champagnes, luxury watches and rings, etc, and yes I'm poor too but Im going to remain positive you never know you just might hit the lottery, keep aiming high and dreaming high!🌹⚜️
While I understand Monsieur Garcia wanting/needing to manage and secure the financial security of his estate, it is a shame he is in the position of having to auction these works of art. They belong right where they are, not sold off hither and yon.
Well hey were not original pieces of this castle... and even sold they are not allowed to get out of the French territory maybe you will see them in museum sadly maybe not .
very nice, good taste
Un museo de reliquias y te tesoros.. lo mas bello de la época 🎉
Grandiose Jacques Garcia ❤❤❤
Marvelous
Magnifique
A limpeza do castelo deve ser algo excepcional,,, limpar milhares de obras de arte, sem quebrar---- quem herdará tantas maravilhas ???? Institute de France ??? École de Beaux Arts de PARIS ????
Un homme remarquable ,gentil , honnête et a l écoute des gens qui ont travaillé pour lui j ai ainsi donc eu cette chance d être son chauffeur pendand deux ans et je peux vous dire que d avoir un Boss comme monsieur Garcia ça a été un élément déclencheur au niveau professionnel de ma vie c est un homme de très grande valeur chose qui nous manque vraiment aujourd'hui
Wow!
I hope Jaques also stored up treasures in heaven.
heaven really ? Well maybe not but to the foundation he is creating to take care of his estate and the rest of his collection .
Sublime
WOW!!! 😲
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤magnifique!!!❤❤❤❤❤
She really jetted out of that room at the end.
Remarkable.
ABSOLUMENT SUPERBE 🤩
Ricordo un articolo su una rivista specializzata che parlava di questo castello che lui aveva salvato,restaurato e completamente riarredato con mobili della stessa epoca alcuni realmente appartenuti al castello!!! Già in quella intervista aveva detto che aveva intenzione di vendere per un nuovo progetto.È un peccato che non abbia donato tutto allo stato,e che tutto andrà disperso.
its such a terrible injustice that i absolutely love all the finer things in life like art, antiques, jewellery, mansions, fine furniture yet im poor, why am i like this? why do i always dream about the best things in life knowing i will never get to taste even 1% of this kind of thing in my life because im poor and i will never be rich, why cant i be happy to be poor?
Search your mind
Knowledge is the real wealth. It is better to succeed in making a nail than to hang a painting in your house that was painted by someone else
@@ZJProject that does not make me feel better at all, i would rather hang a nice painting in my estate than make a nail
Perhaps you could enrol somewhere to study history or art in your spare time? If you build an expertise in history or fine art then at least you could spend your time around the things you love. People may also pay for your expertise if you are good at it an find a niche.
get educated, or try to get a job that makes big bucks. Save and invest this money. Don't feel sorry for yourself but get going.
they are surrounded by it but they are just temporary custodians of these treasures, once they're gone they're not taking them with them. We can go to the museum and buy books and enjoy them that way, and we don't have to worry about insuring them.
Bueno!
BLESSINGS
La France est en vente !! Les étrangers vont en profiter je trouve ça absolument scandaleux de disperser ces trésors nationaux
La majeure partie de ces pièces ne provenaient pas de ce château. Garcia les a lui-même acheter aux files de sa vie à diverses enchères . De plus la plupart dès pièces sont interdits de sortie de territoire,
경치가 아주 멋찌고 아름답습니다 ~~
C 'est mal traduit.. Pour nous français cela ne veut rien dire.
CASA DE ARTE Y GLAMOUR
WHen is this Auction?
ça doit être un déchirement que de se séparer de ces pièces ?!
❤❤❤
The Baroque where technically and technologically superior to the classical sculptors and artisans, but they were engaged in essentially all the same crafts, pottery, sculpture, etc, it is the reason why the work for the period is the pinnacle of what has been produced to date, but the epoch we are entering into will supercede the Baroque, but by doing so, the value of the Baroque, I think, will increase. By entering into the new epoch, one where there will be an impression of the age which last longer than its people, in the form or architecture and the floorplan of certain house, of certain paints and certain sculpture. It certain, and that's the most significant aspect of the time to come, it's certain not all, and not mandated by anything other than the market and the common sharing in tastes.
♥️💎
There are 2 gold lois 14 bedroom chairs located in a house in toronto….
Pourquoi aujourd'hui se séparer, et éparpiller une telle collection? n'est-ce pas dommage? après toute cette patience et ce soin mis à la réunir?
75 Pièces seulement = 8,7 millions d'euros pour la fondation qui va entretenir le reste et faire vivre le château. Un sacrifice c'est sur

Jacques Garcia tell us :
Champ-de-Bataille, construit au XVIIe siècle, n’est pas un musée mais un lieu de vie, le lieu de sa vie. Le gardien du temple y a arrêté les horloges. « J’ai fait un choix d’autorité, je ne voulais pas y faire entrer l’art moderne. Pour moi la sensualité s’arrête à l’Ancien Régime. Talleyrand disait « Qui n’a pas connu la fin du XVIIIe siècle ne sait pas ce qu’est la douceur de vivre. »» 💖👍🏼😊
Evidemment, cela dépend pour qui 🙂 Cela dit la dispersion de cette merveilleuse collection est un peu un crève-coeur...
@@tomazseczkmuhn9201 La dispersion…oui en effet c’est souvent le cas. Les collections ne survivent pas à leurs créateurs. Mais en plus là c’est encore du vivant du propriétaire… 🤔
Good taste cannot be taught. It's either you had it; or none at all.
The French have somehow not managed to preserve country houses as aesthetic experiences like, say, in the UK. Take Loire valley chateaux for example, a somewhat well kept garden outside, and a sad tapestry and a few scattered pieces of not very remarkable furniture inside.This place is not really giving me generation layered decor, but at least you get to see nice pieces in some context. The gardens are fantastic.
It is a question of equality between children.
French castles architecture is mostly superior especially in the Loire Valley, Fontainebleau and Vaux le Vicomte for ex. As for the fact they do not have furniture in their castles it is due to the fact their kings travelled with their furnitures and most of it got sold after the French Revolution to English families mainly.... look a Wadderston Manor for ex. But I do prefer English gardens to over worked French and Italian ones.
@@ctb2756 The difference between the UK and France is mostly a question of law about preservation and inheritance.
You can't compare if you don't know the differences : first, if you speak about royal châteaux, you have to know that there were no furniture in them, because the royal court was itinerant, from a place to another, till Louis XIV decided to fix permanently the government in Versailles. So, the furniture used to follow the court according to the place where the king was staying for one week, or two, or a month, etc… That is why you won't find many furniture in the châteaux de la Loire.
Besides, the amount of French royal residences has nothing to do with the English ones : massive in France, quite a few in the UK.
And the question is : what French royal châteaux have you visited, actually, except the ones in the Loire valley ? And which British ones ?
You can not receive like's ?...
Will not allow? 🤔
lovelove forevers sweeties @w
Deve ter fantasmas ???? Morar num castelo com milhares de antiguidades , artes por todos os lados...... O castelo ideal para habitar APOLO, DIANA, EROS, HERMES........ AFRODITE.... ATHENA..... BACO....
Gorgeous yes. Tasteful not 100% sure.
?? Not sure why he is auctioning off various pieces now, when he is most likely going to leave everything to the state, (for taxpayers to maintain as is) and open it up to the public as a museum... he is gay and he and his lover/landscape designer have no heirs (and the French 'death taxes' would bankrupt anyone that did inherit that monumental property.) Those rare pieces should stay where they are, as a tourist attraction, when it does become a museum.
Just google this and you ll have a response "Why Jacques Garcia Just Sold Some of His Most Valuable Antiques"
All I see is a super old ancient house preserved by really old people whom are the only fans of the house. I wouldn't pay one dollar for this.
🙈🙈🙈🤣
And see how the world is perfect : nobody asks you to do it 🙂
We do not touch artwork. The way that woman rushed over and handled the sculpture is perverse. She of all people should know better.
This guy is obviously not a minimalist. Quite, distinct from, say a Japanese sensibility.
not gonna lie... the furniture in this house makes relics from the Titanic looks like a cheap toy piece of garbage..
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway... imagine you forgot your phone somewhere in this chateau...
Blah blah blah. It’s just stuff
C'est un peu court et exagéré... Non ? Vous avez le droit de ne pas aimer et ne pas aimer la France. Mais nous sommes loin du stuc quand même. Non je préfère que vous disiez " je n aime pas ce n est pas mon goût et je n aime pas la France" que de dire que " c est du stuc". Et le blabla c est des explications . La civilisation française est une très brillante civilisation qui d ailleurs aujourd'hui à des problèmes...il y a plus de 40 000 châteaux en France sans compter tout le reste.. etc... Mais vous pouvez dire que vous n aimez pas du tout cette civilisation.
@@christianterraes8334 I don't think he was being critical of France but rather trying to be anti materialist.
I happen to love France and find the collection inspiring.
Relativ uninteressant, weil man ganz überwiegend nicht das Schloss und die Einrichtung sondern Gesichter sieht!
No matter what you can't replicate a genuinely old interior. Even to a foreigner from Asia like me, this feels like an interior designer's showroom. Its almost ridiculous preciousness is the work not of generations of crazy nobles, but a kind of pretentious bourgeois fantasy of a chateau displaying a fawning obsession with the conspicuous consumption of royalty.
Still, it's an authentic 17th chateau...
It is a collection. The aim is not to recreate a daily interior, but to show artistic productions.
Almost as good as Robert de Balkany from a few years back.
