Jacques Philippe IMBERTON, Orientalist-Style Bowl, second half of the 19th century

This bowl was made by Imberton in the second half of the 19th century. Jacques Philippe Imberton was born in Portugal in 1846. This glassmaker and enameller participated in the major exhibitions held between 1878 and 1889, during which he received several gold medals. He notably invented a new glass enamelling process, a technical achievement that took his name. This glass is a fine example of his work. Its enamelled decoration, standing out clearly against the smoked glass, is inspired by oriental motifs forming a geometric frieze. The ornamentation of the base mirrors that of the neck; in the middle of the base, the bulge of the baluster also features delicate decoration. With its design, this bowl can be compared to an enamelled glass mosque lamp made by Imberton in 1881, which is housed at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris.

Louis XV style fireplace, highly sculpted in Carrara marble, decorated with flowers

Crafted in Carrara marble, this Louis XV–style fireplace displays a white tone lightly veined with grey, characteristic of this material. The finely polished marble highlights the richness of the carvings and the refinement of the lines. The entablature adopts a sinuous form, with a central panel adorned with a large carved shell. This is framed by scrolls of acanthus leaves and floral bouquets including roses and daisies, all finely executed. The curved lines of the panel flow harmoniously into the jambs, emphasising the arbalest-shaped opening of the hearth, a hallmark of the Louis XV style. The jambs, curved and carved in high relief, are decorated at their upper section with a large inverted shell accompanied by flower garlands. The lower section is adorned with large acanthus leaves, accentuating the vertical thrust of the composition. The shelf, slightly overhanging in form, follows the sinuous movement of the whole. The cast iron interior is decorated with floral motifs and rocaille cartouches, echoing the ornamental spirit of the façade. The whole demonstrates precise carving work and a balanced composition, typical of creations in the Louis XV style.
