Pair of Japanese-blackened wooden frames decorated with embroidered silk

This pair of frames was made out of black wood around 1880-1890. Their wooden frame, decorated according to a Far East style, is made up of openwork friezes. In their upper part, the two frames are decorated with a calligraphic inscription, inspired by the Far East. The two frames are crowned by two winged dragons facing each other. The frames have medallions with a silk embroidered border, recovered with convex glass. Delicately embroidered, the silk is decorated with wild animals among a vegetal environment. These two frames are characteristic of the Far East trend which came to Europe at the end of the 19th century, in particular a trend towards Japanese and Chinese style. Made by a French artist, unfortunately anonymous, they are the privileged evidence of a profound taste for exoticism. The high quality of this pair of frames makes them very original and rare.

LONGWY Manufacture, Earthenware dish decorated with a tennis player

This bowl with a tennis player decoration was made around 1950 by the Longwy Enamels factory for the Metz Railway Workers’ Sports Association. It is probably a prize intended for the winner of a tennis competition. The center of the bowl is occupied by a tennis player depicted in action, at the edge of a court, about to return the ball coming towards his racket, which he keeps his eyes fixed on. The spectator stands where his opponent should be, thus in the place of the athlete, which includes them in the scene and gives the composition a striking directness. The 20th century saw the association of art and sport reach new heights. On one hand, sport became a popular subject in the art world; on the other hand, sports competition organizers were inclined to commission artistic objects to award to athletes. This bowl is an emblematic example of this trend.
