Oak 19th century double door

This Regence style oak double door is striking due to its impressive dimensions and yet elegant proportions. Each door is subdivided into four parts, at the base of both is a relief panel with a molded border. Above the panels is a braided frame enclosing a carved, high relief, and slanted feature that is also surrounded by a double volute frame. The central panels, where the doorknobs were originally, are very plain- this emphasizes the craftsmanship of the top panels. Framed in braided molding, the two sculptures are set against a plain background, and are enclosed in a frame; a frame of double volutes and foliage. The frame rests upon an engraved pannel that adds to the decor. With regards to the sculptured objects, they appear to praise science and technology; an important development during the 19th century. One of the sculptures displays a music scroll, a globe for geography, a camera, a test tube for chemistry, a compass and protractor for geometry; whilst the other displays a saw for carpentry, cog wheels, an anvel and bellows for black smiths. The two different themes shown by these two panels clearly bear an artistic element. A remarkably sculpted pannel seperates these two doors. Above, there is a series of fleur-de-lys made up of acanthus leaves which wind across the double door. At both ends of the fleur-de-lys there are the heads of two tremendous winged monsters. This decor is enhanced further by the curled carving in the wood above. Above this, two panels framed with braided molding each bear the letters E and P; a monogram referring to the owner of the house for whom this door was made for. The reverse side of the door is decorated with two moulded panels.

Set of ethnic style monumental decorative elements in plaster, 20th century

This set of ethnic style monumental decorative elements in plaster was made during the 20th century. Since the artists of the early twentieth century, who was searching for a new art, have enriched their collections with distant and exotic objects – for example surrealist artists - ethnic motifs have become a leitmotif in Western art of the last century. This monumental set is decorated with faces, some are masked, and chests. Two bullocks at the bottom of the set are supporting two columns molded in counter-relief whereas the faces are molded in relief : its seems to be four totems. While on the two outside totems poles, there are two faces kissing each other, two children are molded on the other totems poles. These children are in the arms of a woman with sagging breasts. This decorative set depicts birth.

E. CLAVIER, Andirons with Eurasian Eagle-Owls, 1867 World's Fair

This bronze andiron bar was presented at the 1867 Paris Exhibition in Paris and was crafted by the skilled bronzeworker E. Clavier. This piece is a testament to the artistry of E. Clavier, a talented bronzeworker whose name first appeared in commercial almanacs in 1852 as an “ornamental sculptor for bronze” based in the Marais district of Paris. From the inception of his workshop, Clavier specialized in fireplace accessories such as andirons, fenders, fire guards, shovels, and tongs. He won several medals at the World Fairs of 1855, 1862, and 1867, showcasing the bronze piece we present here at the latter event in Paris. The workshop later became Maison Bouhon Frères, under the direction of Thomas and Joseph Bouhon, and continued as Bouhon et Cie until 1898. The central bar connects two andirons crowned by majestic Eurasian eagle-owls. The owls stand upright, their sharp talons gripping two intertwined serpents facing each other with exposed, menacing fangs. The hostility expressed by the serpents contrasts with the noble stillness of the raptors. The design demonstrates a masterful sense of composition and balance: the imposing bodies of the nocturnal birds rest firmly on the sinuous forms of the serpents. The stylized curves of the serpents enhance the decorative quality of the andirons, further emphasized by the silvered patina of the bronze, which displays a rich array of nuanced tones. The craftsmanship is remarkable, with every detail finely chiseled to the point that the texture of the animals’ bodies becomes almost tangible.
