PAIR OF SWAN-MOTIF JARDINIÈRES FRANCE, 20TH CENTURY
PAIR OF SWAN-MOTIF JARDINIÈRES FRANCE, 20TH CENTURY
A monumental pair of circular jardinières crafted from cast glass and gilt bronze, executed in France in the 20th century in the Historicist manner, drawing upon the artistic vocabulary of the French Empire. The composition is defined by the striking contrast between the massive transparent glass bowl and the sculptural bronze mounting, finely chased and richly articulated in detail.The bronze decoration forms a cohesive and dynamic ensemble: around the rim are arranged majestic swans with gracefully curved necks and outstretched wings. Their bodies create a rhythmic frieze characteristic of the Imperial decorative canon, where the swan symbolizes nobility, purity and fidelity. The central elements are enriched with lush palmettes and acanthus motifs, descending into a substantial profiled stem. The base combines bronze and transparent glass, enhancing the sense of monumentality while ensuring structural balance.The bronze displays refined casting of high artistic quality, with delicately modeled plumage conveying a vivid sense of movement. The even gilding underscores the ceremonial character of the pieces and amplifies the play of light across the relief surface. Such jardinières were conceived for grand interiors – winter gardens, salons and reception rooms – serving as decorative focal points and emblems of status.Marks: None observed.Dimensions: Height 34–36 cm. Diameter 46 cm.Condition: Good. Gilding even. Minor signs of age and handling. No losses to the glass and no deformation of the bronze.Provenance: Private collection. Formerly Paris, hôtel particulier.

PAUL CHEVRE. BOY SEPARATING FIGHTING COCKS FRANCE / CANADA, LATE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY
PAUL CHEVRE. BOY SEPARATING FIGHTING COCKS FRANCE / CANADA, LATE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY
A monumental author’s bronze sculpture executed by Paul Chevré, an eminent French-Canadian master of the academic school at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The composition depicts a nude youth in a moment of intense movement, striving to separate two fighting cocks engaged in a furious struggle.The figure of the boy is conceived in an antiquizing manner. The modelling of the torso reveals precise anatomical structure and a refined treatment of surface. The contrapposto enhances the sensation of a fleeting gesture captured in bronze. The diagonal formed by the outstretched wings and extended necks of the cocks cuts across the line of the body and the drapery around the hips, creating a powerful dramatic rhythm within the composition.The contrast between the smooth surface of the youthful body and the textured rendering of the feathers produces an expressive interplay of light across the noble dark patina. The base is treated in a naturalistic manner and reinforces the dynamic tension of the sculptural group. The work demonstrates the maturity of the artist’s language and corresponds to the aesthetic ideals of the Belle Époque.Marks: Signed “Paul Chevré” on the base; foundry mark.Dimensions: Height 75 centimetres; width 52 centimetres.Condition: Good. Even dark patina. Minor surface wear consistent with age.Provenance: Private European collection.

IMPRESSIVE EMPIRE STYLE CHANDELIER RUSSIA, FIRST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY
IMPRESSIVE EMPIRE STYLE CHANDELIER RUSSIA, FIRST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY
An impressive Empire style chandelier, characteristic of grand ceremonial interiors from the reign of Emperor Alexander I. The composition is constructed according to a rare spherical principle, reflecting the architectural rigor and symbolic program of the Russian Imperial style. The central body takes the form of a deep blue sphere adorned with sculptural gilt stars, creating the impression of a celestial vault.The sphere is encircled by a broad gilt bronze band with refined relief ornament. Around the circumference are nine arms executed in the form of majestic swans with outstretched wings. The sculptural modeling of the birds demonstrates crisp feather detailing and expressive symmetry typical of high Russian Empire craftsmanship. Each swan supports a circular candle plate, forming a harmonious crown around the central body.The chandelier is suspended by massive chains attached to a richly ornamented ceiling rose decorated with palmettes and pendant pine-cone clusters. The lower section terminates in a stylized pine-cone finial, a traditional symbol of abundance in early 19th-century decorative art. Electrified while preserving its historical silhouette and proportions.Literature: Hans Ottomeyer and Peter Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, Klinkhardt & Biermann, Munich, 1986, p. 359, pl. 5.11.4.Dimensions: Height 130 cm; diameter 66 cm.Condition: Good.
