KOENIG & LAFITTE - Art Nouveau stained glass window with bindweed

Ref.15080
KOENIG & LAFITTE - Art Nouveau stained glass window with bindweed

This stained glass window was created by Paul Koenig and Lafitte in the early years of the 20th century, during the flowering of Art Nouveau. This draughtsman and engraver, born in Épinal in 1883, was associated with Lafitte, a glass painter. Their creations were part of the École de Nancy movement. This school, founded in 1901 by Emile Gallé, Louis Majorelle, Antonin Daum and Eugène Vallin, aimed to develop the decorative arts in the provinces, and became the spearhead of the Art Nouveau style. Our stained glass window is curved. The pattern is divided into six large, distinct panels. There are three in the upper section, separated by two arches that flare out towards the top. It is trimmed by a band of pink glass, which is covered in places with delicate bindweed flowers and leaves that emphasise the curvature of the upper arch. Their design is particularly fine and precise. In the centre, the glass is almost transparent, but the lead lines holding them in place flare out following the curvature of the vertical arches. The lower part of the stained glass window has a large central section of soft green hammered glass, which follows the shape of the arch separating it from the upper part, and at the bottom adopts the shape of a brace. In the spandrels, bordered by a thin line of pink glass, two bunches of bindweed repeat the pattern of the upper part. This work can be compared with the stained glass window with Jasmin de Virginie made by these artists. This one, although generally more traditional in shape, also has a pink border (albeit in a stronger colour). The flared shape of our vase is repeated, with a variation. In addition, the variety of flowers represented, an original and exotic species, proves Koenig’s interest in flora. As in the stained glass window with bindweed, the flowers are depicted in buds at the bottom, blossoming more and more as they are depicted upwards.

Louis XV style mantel in highly carved Carrara marble

Ref.5740
Louis XV style mantel in highly carved Carrara marble

This Louis XV-style Carrara fireplace stands out through its symmetrical and detailed sculpture. White Carrara marble, sometimes with gray veins, has brightening and delicacy qualities that enable the sculptor to work in fine detail. This fineness/delicacy can be seen over the band and fireplace’s legs. The band is thinner on the sides and thickens in the center, producing its curved shape. Thin and hollow moldings follow the contours of the band. In the band’s center, acanthus leaves create the shape of a sun. The leaf tips stand out slightly, creating volume. High-relief curled leaves skirt this central form. On the sides, two flowers with leaves extended on either side. At the top of the fireplace's legs, the central shape of the band is recreated by the acanthus leaves. We can notice that a flower from the acanthus leaves runs/gets down the length of the leg, moving to the right for the right foot and the left for the left. In the second part of the leg, there are four leaves following each other from the largest at the top to the smallest at the bottom. Flutes longing the length of the rest of the leg. These patterns are first hollowed and then filled in. This fireplace is accompanied by its symmetrical cast-iron interior that echoes the mantel's motifs. The center reuses the central pattern of the band formed by the acanthus leaves. In the hollow of the fireplace’s curves, a half-naked woman and a child are set in interlinked circles. These circles are themselves surrounded by intricate scrolls echoing the leaf motif.
