Jean-Claude Chambellan Duplessis (1699-1774)
Duplessis was a sculptor, ceramics modeller, bronzier and artistic director of the Vincennes and Sèvres Manufactory. From 1752, he assisted his father in creating models for the porcelain manufactures. On 12 June 1765 he became maître fondeur en terre et sable, having, as was customary at the time, mastered the disciplines of drawing and sculpture. Duplessis' illustrious career is mainly recognized today for having perfected the rocaille symmetrisé style. One of the most talented and influential designers and bronziers of his day, only a few pieces can be firmly attributed to him, including a pair of ormolu braziers commissioned by Jean-Baptiste Machault d'Arnouville for royal presentation in 1742 to the Ambassador of Turkey, one of which is today conserved at the Topkapi Palace Museum, Istanbul.
