BACCARAT, Garniture with Japanese landscape, circa 1880

This decoration with a Japanese landscape was made by the Baccarat crystal factory around 1880. Founded under Louis XV, the French crystal factory Baccarat demonstrated its excellence at Universal Exhibitions throughout the 19th century. This ruby crystal trim is made up of two vases and a planter. The whole is emblematic of the quality of the crystal works. The gold enamelled decorations of the vases represent a Japanese landscape with Far Eastern fauna and flora. The waders are particularly characteristic. The planter is decorated with an aquatic landscape flown over by wild geese. A vast golden sun emerges from a mountainous background. The transparent crystal handles are also decorated with decorative gold motifs. Each element of the trim is assembled. The crystal maker's stamp, affixed since 1875, shortly before the creation of this piece, is found under the base of the gilded bronze frame. Baccarat produced, in the same period, another decoration mounted in red crystal enameled with gold, with slightly different shapes and a very similar Japanese decoration.

Louis XVI style curved mantel with half columns carved in half statuary marble with bronze décor

This fireplace presents a combination of marble and bronze, which is characteristic of Louis XVI style. This fireplace’s shapes are simple and the lines are straight. This style uses sober colors, which is why the use of semi-statuary marble is appropriate. A semi-statuary marble signifies a marble that is almost homogeneously white with very few veins. The band is detailed with rectangular bronze pearl contours. At its center is a golden bronze flower motif. The flower is composed of acanthus leaves and round fruit that are dragged into a circular movement. The top of the legs uses the same motifs as the band and extends it with the bronze flower surrounded by pearls. The fireplace's legs are half-fluted columns and slim down to the base. Between the flutes intercalate wheat sprouts with field flowers. This reference to a rural nature mixed with antiquity is typical of the Louis XVI style. The cast iron interior echoes the fireplace’s mantel with wheat germs and field flowers over its entire surface. The upper part of the hearth features a fine Greek ornamental frieze.
