E. CLAVIER, Andirons with Eurasian Eagle-Owls, 1867 World's Fair

This bronze andiron bar was presented at the 1867 Paris Exhibition in Paris and was crafted by the skilled bronzeworker E. Clavier. This piece is a testament to the artistry of E. Clavier, a talented bronzeworker whose name first appeared in commercial almanacs in 1852 as an “ornamental sculptor for bronze” based in the Marais district of Paris. From the inception of his workshop, Clavier specialized in fireplace accessories such as andirons, fenders, fire guards, shovels, and tongs. He won several medals at the World Fairs of 1855, 1862, and 1867, showcasing the bronze piece we present here at the latter event in Paris. The workshop later became Maison Bouhon Frères, under the direction of Thomas and Joseph Bouhon, and continued as Bouhon et Cie until 1898. The central bar connects two andirons crowned by majestic Eurasian eagle-owls. The owls stand upright, their sharp talons gripping two intertwined serpents facing each other with exposed, menacing fangs. The hostility expressed by the serpents contrasts with the noble stillness of the raptors. The design demonstrates a masterful sense of composition and balance: the imposing bodies of the nocturnal birds rest firmly on the sinuous forms of the serpents. The stylized curves of the serpents enhance the decorative quality of the andirons, further emphasized by the silvered patina of the bronze, which displays a rich array of nuanced tones. The craftsmanship is remarkable, with every detail finely chiseled to the point that the texture of the animals’ bodies becomes almost tangible.

Bronze helmet spark arrester, 19th century

This bronze spark arrester was made around 1880. Inside an architectural structure chiseled with volutes and leaves, a scalloped outline holds the screen of the fire arrester. The mesh, which is original and decorated with gridded and interspersed patterns, has a slight accident. The bronze piece is supported on either side by two column-shaped feet ending in four snail-shaped branches. On each column culminates a medieval helmet with a beautiful plume in the spirit of Théodore Gechter, a famous sculptor and bronze-worker of the first half of the century. Under the top of the breastplate, we can make out two laurel branches and a coat of arms decorated with a band and a point. Indeed, at the beginning of the 19th century, artists rediscovered the Middle Ages, a period until then totally set aside in favor of Antiquity. This bronze piece bears witness to this newfound taste for medieval themes.
