Big antique fireback with jansenist decoration

Ref.9902
Big antique fireback with jansenist decoration

This large 18th century fireback wears the Jansenist badge representing the three Theological Virtues. Faith is thus depicted as a blindfolded woman while Hope is represented by an anchor and Charity by a flaming heart. A Latin inscription runs along this medallion "Ardet Amans Spe Nixa Fides" which means "Faith, relied on Hope, burning with the fire of Charity." This sentence appeared in the frontispiece of all Jansenists books. Finally, the medallion is surrounded on all sides by the Cardinal Virtues : Fortitude, Justice, Temperance and Prudence.

Wrought iron bracket with winged chimera decoration

Ref.10484
Wrought iron bracket with winged chimera decoration

It is possible that this wrought iron gallows served as a decorative element, a lantern holder, or a sign on the façade, as was customary in the 18th and 19th centuries. Similar decorative wrought iron signs can be found at the Carnavalet Museum, although they date from the 18th century. Superbly designed and technically masterful, the winged body of this hybrid chimera is twisted into volutes to which a pair of wings is attached. A menacing dragon's head adorns its summit. With its vibrantly light, scroll-like body, this chimera evokes the ironwork on the façade of the Güell Palace in Barcelona and the beginnings of the European Art Nouveau movement. Nevertheless, the subject evokes a medieval inspiration... Some visible losses.
