POILLERAT Gilbert - Art Deco pair of doors and window railing, wrought iron and bronze, 1936

This pair of doors and this blacony in Art Deco style were made by the decorator Gilbert Poillerat in 1936 for the Caisse Autonome d'Amortissements Tabacs et Allumettes (Fund for Tobacco and Matches) Gilbert Poillerat (1902-1988), master of wrought iron, established himself in the 1930s as a first-class artistic ironworker. He was the author of numerous decorations for public buildings and was also commissioned to make the Chain of the Grand Master of the Order of the Liberation, handed over to Charles de Gaulle. His works now have their place in museums, when they no longer decorate the buildings of the time. These doors and this balcony were reproduced in the magazine "Art et Decoration" in 1936.

Théodore DECK, Decorative Dish in Glazed Ceramic with Poppy Flowers

This decorative plate with poppy flower decoration was created by the ceramist Théodore Deck at the end of the 19th century. Théodore Deck initially trained in the stove-making industry. When he established himself in Paris in 1858, he manufactured stove coverings. Buoyed by his success, he then ventured into ceramics. His workshop created numerous plates, sometimes in collaboration with recognized painters. He gradually perfected his technique and achieved significant success at the many Universal Exhibitions he participated in. In 1878, he was made an Officer of the Legion of Honour. He directed the Sèvres manufactory from 1887 until his death in 1891. Against a white background adorned with lightly embossed decorations, several field flowers stand out: poppy flowers, both in full bloom and in various stages of blooming, are displayed alongside small orange flowers and even some grasses. The blues and greens of the leaves complement the vivid colors of the flowers. This work reflects the fashion of Japonism that swept through European art from the 1870s to the early years of the 20th century, which particularly influenced Théodore Deck, a collector of East Asian art.

Pair of Vietnamese-style carved stone elephant statues

Pair of stone elephants carved from a single block, each resting on a base decorated with foliage and a frieze of stylized petals. The pachyderms are depicted standing upright, legs straight, in a hieratic posture reminiscent of the elephants on the Khai Dinh funerary monument in Hue (Vietnam). The modeling is minimal and the volumes simplified to the extreme. The rounded volumes emphasize the animal's power. The head is also treated in an archaic and refined style that is quite characteristic of ancient Vietnamese or Indian productions: the folded ears are treated as volutes engraved in stone, the trunk is curved, the eyes are almond-shaped, and tusks (made of bronze?) certainly took their place on either side of the animal's mouth. Its frozen posture is reminiscent of the monumental statuary of Southeast Asia. Animals steeped in symbolism in Vietnamese culture (strength, wisdom, loyalty), these elephants may have been part of an ancient votive ensemble intended to mark a path of honor or the entrance to a mausoleum. The presence of a circular cavity at the top of the statues indicates that they probably held an additional decorative element (palanquin? vase?).
