A precious Egyptian ship, a rare earthenware piece by Emile GALLÉ

This Egyptian boat in faience was designed by Émile Gallé in the second half of the 19th century. Considered the founding father of Art Nouveau, Émile Gallé took over the workshop founded by his father and gave it a decisive impetus, which he sustained throughout his life with constantly renewed creativity. Ancient Egypt and its culture were one of his favored sources of inspiration, as evidenced by this piece. This artwork depicts a boat with raised prow and stern, inspired by frescoes of ships from Pharaonic Egypt. The body of the vessel rests on a base formed by multiple oars; the hull is adorned with various insects and a turtle on the right. At the center, a lotus flower decorated with numerous gold accents hosts a fanciful insect reminiscent of the “trucsal” design by Gallé, preserved at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. On the other side, the center of the lotus flower is occupied by a scarab, a sacred animal that held a central place in the iconography of Ancient Egypt. The only other known example of this model to date is the Grand Prix version, which required significant expertise and an expensive technique.
