Surprising pair of varnished earth depicting a woman bust, North Italy, circa 1850

This pair of andirons is quite original because of the material used to create them. Indeed, very often we find andirons made of cast iron or wrought iron but not many in ceramic. Our pair of andirons is the work of an art craftsman, living in the old Duchy of Savoy in the north west of the actual Italy, annexed by France under the Second Empire, while the rest of the Italian peninsula territories are integrated to the new kingdom of Italy. The shape of these anthropomorphic andirons are quite simple, they are decorated with women busts of which each face’s lines and strand of hair have been marked carefully, while the front is adorned with neoclassical decoration with volutes. Sculpted in terra cotta, they were next, enameled with a brown glaze. Our pair of andirons were presented during the exhibition « Terres de feu, de lumière et de songes » organized in Aubagne in 2009 by les Ateliers Thérèse Neveu and are illustrated on the exhibition catalogue at page 18. This event was the occasion to reunite many ceramic objects used to heat, light and smoke.

Garden furniture set with a table, three stools and a bench decorated with polychrome ceramic tiles, 1980s

This homogeneous set of a table, a bench and three stools is decorated with polychrome tiles in various colors. The table rests on a base with a black rectangular tile border. The upper surface is decorated with irregular polygonal tiles arranged in a circle: near the edge, a line of salmon-colored tiles, then green with white dots, yellow and white with green dots. The square base is composed of a superimposition of black rectangles. The polylobed tabletop, in the shape of a flower, features the same pattern as the base, first on the rim, then on the top, repeating the principle of a succession of colored concentric rings. The center, in white ceramic, matches the black of the rim and base. The ornamentation on the bench is very similar: the straight edges are matched by the irregular polygons of the decorated surfaces. This time, lines of colored tiles, in the same shades as those on the table, are carefully arranged. The three stools each rest on a base. Their legs flare out towards the top. The seat itself is circular, echoing the colorful ornamentation of the table. The overall effect is highly homogeneous, typical of the geometric lines and colorful decor of the 1980s.
