VASE, CIRCA 1900
Red flamed ceramic, with an openwork ‟whiplash” mount at the base in the style of van de Velde, and the neck designed in the same spirit
With French Minerva mark and silversmith mark
Height: 14 cm.
“CRANE AND REEDS” FLOOR LAMP, CIRCA 1900-1905
Bronze and patinated metal
Height: 175 cm.
This work, likely of Japanese origin, is a masterful example of the decorative appeal of bronze cranes around 1900, following the Western importation of sacred animals. Impressive in scale and retaining its original patina, our floor lamp is a brilliant illustration of the integration of fauna and flora into a lighting fixture in keeping with contemporary taste.
Other examples of this type of floor lamp are known: one is held in the Gillion Crowet Collection (Belgium), and another, from the Rispal donation (France, 2005), is part of the Musée d'Orsay collections.”
