L’Escalier de Cristal (attributed to) Gilt-bronze liqueur barrel with its stand

Ref.14147
L’Escalier de Cristal (attributed to) Gilt-bronze liqueur barrel with its stand

This liqueur barrel and its stand originally formed part of a complete liqueur set, which would have included a display stand and a suite of glasses. The present model shows similarities to the double-reservoir barrel preserved in the Musée des Arts décoratifs de Namur (inv. AHC 478 A–B). The wide stylistic range found in objects stamped “Escalier de Cristal” reflects the longevity of the firm’s production. The decoration of the stand suggests a date around 1819: the motif of confronted swans flanking an antique vase is characteristic of the late First Empire, extending into the Restoration period. The gilt-bronze stopper is finely chased and adorned with fruit and foliate motifs, demonstrating the high quality of craftsmanship associated with the house.

Gabriel VIARDOT (1830–1904), (attributed to) – Rare japoniste crescent-moon mirror with bronze dragon

Ref.16075
Gabriel VIARDOT (1830–1904), (attributed to) – Rare japoniste crescent-moon mirror with bronze dragon

This japoniste mirror in bronze and walnut was made circa 1880–1890. Its Sino-Japanese inspiration, together with the presence of a characteristic prowling bronze dragon, allows this mirror to be attributed to the prolific cabinetmaker Gabriel Viardot (1830–1904), renowned for his production of japoniste furniture and works of art. The bronze dragon coils elegantly around the wooden frame, shaped like a crescent moon. The ornamental details are exceptionally fine: the scales along the flank and tail, and the pronounced musculature of the twisting body enhance the creature’s dynamic movement. With its mouth slightly open, the beast seems to threaten whoever gazes into the mirror. The restrained design of the frame sets off the striking presence of this superb bronze dragon, a recurring motif in Gabriel Viardot’s oeuvre. Born in Paris in 1830, Gabriel Viardot began his career alongside his brother Louis before founding his own workshop in 1860 and taking over the family business. The 1867 Exposition Universelle gave Western audiences the opportunity to discover the Chinese and Japanese pavilions, which drew fascination for the novelty of their motifs and techniques. In an artistic climate shaped by eclecticism and Orientalism, enthusiasm for Asian art grew steadily, prompting Viardot to devote himself to the creation of furniture inspired by Japanese and Chinese art. His work earned him several medals at the Expositions Universelles (1867, 1878, 1885, 1889 and 1900), as well as at the Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs exhibition in 1884.

Napoléon III period gilt-bronze billiard chandelier

Ref.16099
Napoléon III period gilt-bronze billiard chandelier

This Napoléon III period gilt-bronze billiard chandelier features two ends capped with opaline glass half-spheres set within richly ornamented gilt-bronze mounts. The original gas-lighting system has been adapted to accommodate a modern electrical installation. The historicist ornamentation is particularly elaborate and characteristic of the Napoléon III era. The decorative vocabulary draws on multiple historical references: Neo-Greek elements (palmettes), Neo-Gothic motifs (chimeras), Neo-Renaissance details (lion masks), and Rocaille forms (scrolls, acanthus leaves, and dolphins). With its imposing dimensions—nearly two meters in length—the chandelier originally provided ample illumination for billiard players, a game that gained great popularity during the 19th century. Today, it would make a striking statement in a refined interior.
