Large antique carved oak wood paneled room with hunting trophies and still lifes decor

This beautiful carved oak wood paneled room was made in the 19th century. Designed originally for a hexagonal room, with a boudoir, it is composed of six carved wall panels. Three panels have window openings, two are fitted with doors, and the last panel has a large overmantel mirror . The harmony of these elements is ensured by a bucolic decoration of grapes and hunting and fishing trophies. The panels are thus compartmentalized and bordered with carved friezes where vines are climbing. Above the doors, windows and the overmantel , these vineyards frame large medallions. Eggs and dart friezes also surround the doors. The doors are decorated with panels, carved with large rosettes and still lives evoking the attributes of agriculture, hunting and fishing. The sculpture of the wood is of a very beautiful quality and quite charming.

Fonderie Fumière & Co, Rococo pink marble lamp with gilded bronze masks, circa 1906-1926

This lamp in pink marble and gilded bronze was created at the beginning of the 20th century, between 1906 and 1926. The bronzes were executed by the Fumière and Co foundry, successor to the famous Thiébaut foundry. An art foundry from 1851, the Thiébaut company collaborated with some of the most renowned artists (David d’Angers, Carpeaux, Falguière, Carrier-Belleuse, and Gustave Doré, among others) throughout the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was notably taken over by Fumière, who used the name “Thiébaut Frères, Fumière & Co successor” between 1906 and 1926, allowing us to date our lamp to this period. The base of this lamp, in pink marble and gilded bronze, follows the decorative arts tradition under the reign of Napoleon III (1852-1870). At the lower part, the shapes, with their curves and counter-curves, as well as the leaf and shell motifs, are inspired by rocaille art; higher up, the straight shaft and neoclassical ornamentation recall the Louis XVI style, while the mascarons, like the base, echo the art practiced under the reign of King Louis XV. At the top, the bulb holder is particularly sleek. The high quality of the bronze chiseling and the beauty of the marble contribute to the elegance of this exceptional lamp.
