Ref.10859
Paul ROUSSEL (1867-1928) - Pair of pewter lamps, cast by Eugène Soleau and globe signed Sèvres

This beautiful pair of lamps was made around 1900 out of pewter. Inspired by Art Nouveau, they bear the signature of Paul Roussel, sculptor, and Eugène Soleau, bronze manufacturer in Paris. A farandole of putti unfolds along the neck while the body of each lamp is adorned with flowers in slight relief. Paul Roussel is a major sculptor of the turn of the 20th century. Born in 1867, he entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he studied with Jules Cavelier, Louis-Ernest Barrias and Jules Coutan. In 1895, he won the Grand Prix of Rome for the bas-relief "David, winner of Goliath, brought in triumph to Saul". He won several medals at the Salons and exhibited Hors-Concours in London, Brussels, Turin, Liège, Amsterdam, Ghent. From 1906, he became a member of the jury of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and member of the grand jury of the Salon des artistes français. He obtained many orders from the State, including several monuments of importance: "The Duke of Aumale", stone statue commissioned by the State and kept at the entrance of the Museum of Decorative Arts of Paris, for example. He is decorated Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1914 and is promoted officer July 23, 1920. Eugène Soleau, bronzier, was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1853. His foundry was located at 127 rue de Turenne in Paris. Secretary (1885-1889), then vice-president (from 1895 to 1899) and finally president (from 1900) of the Union of Bronze Manufacturers, he invested himself, at French and international levels, in the protection of Intellectual property.

Louis-Édouard Lemarchand (Paris, 1795-1872) was the son of Charles-Joseph Lemarchand (1759-1826), who founded a dynasty of cabinetmakers. He studied architecture and spent two years in the Empire. Under the Restoration, he returned to Paris to help his father in the workshop. Their cabinetmaking business took off. In 1817, they became Fournisseur Breveté du Garde-Meuble. Active under Charles X, Louis Philippe and then Napoleon III, Lemarchand fils continued to use his father's stamp, deleting the initial of the first name. It was he who executed Napoleon I's coffin in 1840. In 1846, he formed a partnership with André Lemoyne; when he retired, the business was continued by the Lemoynes, until it was taken over by Charles Jeanselme in 1893. L.-É. Lemarchand, 1/5th scale model of Napoleon's coffin at Les Invalides, c. 1840, Paris, Musée Carnavalet (D. R.) The format of this bookcase means it can be placed under windows, in a bright room, ideal for reading. Above a long, solid plinth, five glazed openings open out; the two side doors operate in pairs, while the central door has a single leaf. The arch above the openings is adorned at the top with a shell surrounded by darker wood foliage. The corners of the cabinet are beveled and feature two carved atlatls representing literary figures. On the right, the man depicted as a thinker is Socrates; on the left is another writer, looking worried, holding a roll of papers in his hand. This iconography is particularly well suited to library furniture. The atlantes adorning the corners of the dresser are particularly characteristic of Lemarchand's art, which he used in a variety of formulas on a relatively large number of works. This is the case of a cabinet sold at Tajan in 2016, richly carved in the corners and on the top.
