A PAIR OF RUSSIAN NEOCLASSICAL WALL CONSOLES ST PETERSBURG, LATE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY

A PAIR OF RUSSIAN NEOCLASSICAL WALL CONSOLES ST PETERSBURG, LATE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY

A pair of ceremonial wall consoles executed in the traditions of Russian Neoclassicism, inspired by the models of the workshop of Heinrich Daniel Gambs (1765-1831). Structurally, each console is conceived according to a strict architectural principle: a rectangular top with a moulded edge rests on two front supports joined by a curved lower stretcher.The bodies are crafted in carefully selected mahogany veneer, enhanced by a deep mirror-like polish. The frieze is decorated with an inlaid geometric band recalling the antique meander motif. The central section features a diamond-shaped panel with a gilt-bronze medallion framed by stylised laurel branches, forming a solemn imperial accent.The front supports are designed as herm figures with busts of winged genii executed in patinated bronze. The sculptural modelling of curls, facial features and wings demonstrates a high level of artistic casting. The legs terminate in bronze lion’s paw feet, reinforcing the symbolism of strength and stability. Gilt mouldings and rosettes create a striking contrast with the warm tone of the mahogany and give the composition a sense of completion.The present pair reflects the characteristic reinterpretation of the St Petersburg Empire tradition at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, when historical models of the Alexander I period were reproduced in the interiors of aristocratic mansions and ceremonial halls of the late Imperial era.Dimensions: Height: 83 cm; width: 110 cm; depth: 48 cm (each).Condition: Professionally restored. Overall good condition. Minor signs of age and use.Provenance: Private collection.

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.
