Chretien in Paris, 18th century.<\/p>\n

Large brass hunting horn, with garland engraved with hunting scenes. Maker’s signature: \u201cMade by Chretien \/ Paris \/ 1737\u201d with fleurs-de-lys.<\/p>\n

\u201cLe Sieur Crestien\u201d considered the best maker of horns and drums in \u201cLe livre commode\u201d by Abraham du Pradel (Paris 1692) descends from a Norman family of \u201cboilermakers \u2013 horn makers\u201d settled in Vernon then in Paris, rue de la Ferronnerie, from the end of the 17th century.<\/p>\n

The so-called \u201cDauphine\u201d horn was named in 1729 by one of its first makers, Lebrun, in homage to the birth of Louis XV’s son. The king, passionate about hunting, asked the Marquis de Dampierre to take command of a new crew dedicated to deer hunting: the crew of the Chiens Verts which began in 1738.<\/p>\n
