Est-ce celle d\u2019un facteur ou du commanditaire ? Il se trouve qu\u2019\u00e0 cette \u00e9poque, ce type d\u2019estampilles indiquait habituellement le facteur de l\u2019instrument. L\u2019un des exemples les plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bres est celui de Cr\u00e9tien, facteur de trompes et de cors, dont on conserve plusieurs instruments marqu\u00e9s de son nom sur le pavillon. Cet usage nous conduit alors \u00e0 penser que la marque \u201cVilediev\u201d est celle du facteur de l\u2019instrument. Toutefois, comme nous venons de le voir, les hypoth\u00e8ses quant \u00e0 l\u2019identit\u00e9 de ce facteur nous renvoient \u00e0 une famille dont les sources ne mentionnent aucun faiseur d\u2019instrument.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Pourtant, la possibilit\u00e9 que l\u2019un des membres ait pu \u00eatre facteur ne para\u00eet pas si improbable au regard de la situation privil\u00e9gi\u00e9e de la famille dans la sph\u00e8re musicale de l\u2019\u00e9poque. En outre, le style du cor correspond \u00e0 la p\u00e9riode d\u2019activit\u00e9 des principaux membres de la famille, et particuli\u00e8rement d\u2019Antoine III B\u00f6esset, seigneur de Villedieu. L\u2019hypoth\u00e8se \u00e9manant de Gustave Chouquet identifiant B\u00f6esset de Villedieu se voit alors confront\u00e9e \u00e0 un manque de source puisqu\u2019il n\u2019est nulle part signal\u00e9 que ce dernier eut \u00e9t\u00e9 facteur.

En effet, on sait qu\u2019il a relev\u00e9 le titre paternel de seigneur de Villedieu et si l\u2019on en croit le mus\u00e9e de la Musique de Paris, sa seigneurie devait \u00eatre celle de Villedieu-les-Po\u00eales (le cor du mus\u00e9e est d\u00e9crit comme anonyme de Villedieu-les-Po\u00eales). Sous l\u2019Ancien R\u00e9gime, la chasse \u00e9tait l\u2019activit\u00e9 nobiliaire par excellence et les cors \u00e9taient employ\u00e9s \u00e0 cet effet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Il n\u2019est pas difficile d\u2019imaginer que le seigneur de Villedieu ait, pour se distinguer, fait poser le nom de ses terres sur quelques-uns de ses cors, dont celui de la vente du 1<sup>er<\/sup> mai 2021. Si l\u2019on en croit les archives, Antoine III B\u00f6esset fut un personnage haut en couleur et \u00e0 la vie romanesque. Il v\u00e9cut une histoire d\u2019amour digne d\u2019un roman de Maupassant avec l\u2019illustre dramaturge Marie-Catherine des Jardins (1640-1683), dont l\u2019extrait ci-contre donne un aper\u00e7u.

Mais, pendant qu&#8217;il se bat en Afrique, Marie-Catherine butine de fleur en fleur.

It is indeed in the 17th century that natural materials started to be replaced by metal, allowing the shape of the instrument to be more curved. The use of metal also allowed the building of larger instruments, such as the one for sale on 1 May. Until then, horns were mainly used to sound the alarm or for rituals. From the 17<sup>th<\/sup> century, the possibilities offered by the use of metal encouraged the manufacturers to modify the instrument in order to give it musical qualities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The first known classification of the various types of horns was published by Father Marin Mersenne in 1636, in his <em>Harmonie Universelle<\/em>, whose purpose was to assemble in one volume all the knowledge of the time relating to music. One plate shows the five types of horns then in use: fingerhole horn, single turn horn, post horn, hunting horn, and the one that interests us today, the large semi-circular horn. A comparison between the large horn illustrated on the plate by Mersenne and the instrument for sale on 1 May 2021 confirms that they are related. Their curvature is very similar, as is the positioning of the joint rings. The only difference is the bell, which is more open in our horn than in the 1636 illustration, and more akin to models from the second half of the 17<sup>th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Harmonie_universelle-Mersenne.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"759\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/mersenne-marin-harmonie-universelle-1636-1024x759.jpg\" alt=\"Harmonie Universelle de Marin Mersenne en 1636\" class=\"wp-image-11436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/mersenne-marin-harmonie-universelle-1636-1024x759.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/mersenne-marin-harmonie-universelle-1636-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/mersenne-marin-harmonie-universelle-1636-768x569.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/mersenne-marin-harmonie-universelle-1636-100x74.jpg 100w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/mersenne-marin-harmonie-universelle-1636.jpg 1038w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Harmonie Universelle de Marin Mersenne en 1636<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An instrument straight out of a 17<sup>th<\/sup> century painting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In addition to the volume by Martin Mersenne, the semi-circular horn also features in several works of art, denoting its importance in the 17th century. A fascinating study by Florence G\u00e9treau entitled <em>La trompe dans les arts visuel <a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=11373&amp;action=edit#_ftn1\"><sup><strong><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/strong><\/sup><\/a><\/em> points to several depictions of large horns similar to the one for sale on 1 May. Amongst these is a tapestry entitled <em>l\u2019All\u00e9gorie de l\u2019Air<\/em>, part of the series <em>Les quatre \u00e9l\u00e9ments et Les quatre saisons<\/em> woven for Louis XV and engraved in 1670 by S\u00e9bastien Leclerc, based on drawings by Charles Le Brun. Now in the collections of the Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, the engraving in question includes around its borders the various wind instruments of the time, including a semi-circular horn similar to the one for sale on 1 May 2021 (visible in the centre of the right hand border).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Florence G\u00e9treau. <em>La trompe dans les arts visuels<\/em>.

The fruit of a royal commission in 1688 for the Galerie du Trianon, it offers a precious testimony into the evolution of the horn, and features in the foreground various types, including two semi-circular models closely related to the instrument for sale in May.

Even though its winding body shape is different, the stamp is identical and situated on the underside of the bell, i.e. in the same spot as the one on the semi-circular horn for sale on 1 May.

The B\u00f6esset \u2013 sometimes spelled Boisset \u2013 family members enjoyed a privileged position with the King, and a number of them became his counsellor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In his essay on Jean-Baptiste Bo\u00ebsset, Norbert Dufourcq tells us that one of the brothers of Jean-Baptiste, Antoine Bo\u00ebsset III, Lord of Villedieu (1635-1667), had for mistress Marie-Catherine Desjardins<a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=11373&amp;action=edit#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. Therefore, if we follow the theory of Gustave Chouquet in his catalogue raisonn\u00e9 of the Mus\u00e9e de la Musique, the \u2018Vilediev\u2019 stamp on the horns would refer to Antoine Bo\u00ebsset III, Lord of Villedieu, who was born into a family occupying a very privileged position in the music world, aristocracy and military circles at the time. One thing is certain: the manufacturing of the instrument is consistent with the years during which Antoine Bo\u00ebsset III would have been active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Norbert Dufourcq, <em>Un musicien, officier du roi et gentilhomme campagnard au XVIIe si\u00e8cle.

Is it that of a maker or a silent partner? At that time, this type of stamp usually indicated the factor of the instrument. One of the most famous examples is that of Cr\u00e9tien, builder of horns and horns, of which several instruments bearing his name are preserved on the flag. This usage then leads us to think that the stamp &#8220;Vilediev&#8221; is that of the maker of the instrument. However, as we have just seen, the hypotheses as to the identity of this factor send us back to a family whose sources do not mention any maker of instrument.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>However, the possibility that one of the members could have been a maker does not seem so improbable given the privileged position of the family in the musical sphere of the time. In addition, the style of the horn corresponds to the period of activity of the main members of the family, and particularly of Antoine III B\u00f6esset, Lord of Villedieu. The hypothesis emanating from Gustave Chouquet identifying B\u00f6esset de Villedieu is then confronted with a lack of source since it is nowhere reported that the latter was a factor. For lack of historical documents, the current state of research therefore does not allow us to decide the question which therefore remains open \u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mimo-international.com\/media\/CM\/IMAGE\/CMIM000018236.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A horn belonging to the romantic Antoine III B\u00f6esset (1635-1667)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Another hypothesis relating to Antoine III B\u00f6esset, admittedly less probable for the time, would be that the affixed stamp refers to the latter&#8217;s seigneury. Indeed, we know he inherited the paternal title of Lord of Villedieu, and according to the Mus\u00e9e de la Musique in Paris, this would have referred to Villedieu-les-Po\u00eales (the horn in the museum\u2019s collections is attributed to \u201cAnonymous from Villedieu-les-Po\u00eales\u201d). Before the French Revolution, hunting was an aristocratic pursuit par excellence and horns were used as part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is easy to imagine that, as a sign of distinction, the Lord of Villedieu would have stamped the name of his lands on some of his horns, including the one for sale on 1 May 2021. If the archive documents are to be trusted, Antoine Bo\u00ebsset III was a colourful character who led an extraordinary life. He had a romantic relationship worthy of a Maupassant novel with the illustrious playwright Marie-Catherine des Jardins (1640-1683), of which the excerpt below provides an overview. A life and a historical figure that adds to the fascinating character of this instrument\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-16 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/marie-catherine-de-villedieu-1640-1683.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"32247\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/marie-catherine-de-villedieu-1640-1683-684x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/marie-catherine-de-villedieu-1640-1683-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/marie-catherine-de-villedieu-1640-1683-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/marie-catherine-de-villedieu-1640-1683-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/marie-catherine-de-villedieu-1640-1683.jpg 724w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Madame de Villedieu,<br><small><em>gravure de Charles Devrits<\/em><\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cHe appears to lead an unusual life, financially at least, as evidenced by the various legal documents relating to the conduct of his affairs. Then suddenly, one day, his personal life is exposed in the local papers. He \u201cmet\u201d one night Marie-Catherine des Jardins, a woman of letters, whose romantic life is rather extravagant for a woman of her time (she was born in 1640). He falls ill while at her side and remains under her roof for six weeks, becomes her lover, and promises to marry her (1660). She becomes attached to him more than he falls for her, and he reneges on his promises. In 1663, she attests in the presence of a notary that she did not enter into any marriage agreement with Antoine. Shortly afterwards, the brother of Jean-Baptiste purchases a captain\u2019s licence for the Picardie regiment. In 1664, he is called upon to take part in the Gigery (Djidjelli) expedition against the Moors. Marie-Catherine accompanies him to the South of France, and settles in Cavaillon. In a rush move, Hortense and Antoine go find the local priest of Puy-Sainte-R\u00e9parade to ask him to marry them. The priest refuses on the grounds that they do not belong to his parish. Regardless, on the altar, Antoine and Marie-Catherine-Hortense promise each other to be forever faithful to each other (21 June 1664) and to marry legally. However, whilst he is fighting in Africa, Marie-Catherine is unfaithful to him with several other men. She returns to Paris, and forgets about him, whilst falling into the arms of young men or more mature aristrocrats. [\u2026] Despite this, Marie-Catherine-Hortense des Jardins always went by the name of her lover, \u2018Madame de Villedieu\u2019, and, even as late as 1670, refers to herself as \u2018widow of Antoine Boesset, Lord of Villedieu (National archives, Minutier central XXV, 430, 26 March).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<cite>Norbert Dufourcq, <em>Un musicien, officier du roi et gentilhomme campagnard au XVIIe si\u00e8cle.

From this perspective, the inscription would function according to a logic comparable to that observed on the instruments of the Cr\u00e9tien family, several of which explicitly bear the inscription \u201cVERNON\u201d associated with a personal hallmark (initials and a stag), affirming both the maker\u2019s identity and the local roots of the production<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/2026\/03\/13\/cor-de-chasse-demi-lune-cretien-pere\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discovery of a large hunting horn by Cr\u00e9tien<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The parallel is all the more relevant given that, in both cases, these markings appear on instruments from the first half of the 17th century, originating from the same region of Normandy characterised by a strong metallurgical tradition. Consequently, the \u201cVILEDIEV\u201d stamp could be understood as the equivalent of a toponymic signature, indicating a place of manufacture renowned for its craftsmanship, rather than merely the designation of an identified craftsman. This hypothesis suggests that the instrument should be situated within a regional production network, where several specialised centres coexist \u2013 Vernon with the Cr\u00e9tien family, and Villedieu \u2013 jointly contributing to the emergence of the first brass hunting horns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-17 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-05-02-vcp-4203-1-cor-cretien-16x9-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"31840\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-05-02-vcp-4203-1-cor-cretien-16x9-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Cor de chasse en laiton de forme demi-lune dit \u00ab grand cor \u00bb r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par un des membres de la famille CRETIEN Instrument mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 2 mai 2026 \u00a9 Vichy Ench\u00e8res\/ Photo C.
