Item Overview

Description

GRANDE JARDINIÈRE À DÉCOR ORIENTALISANT Attribuée à Georges Emile Henri SERVANT (1828-vers 1890) D’après un modèle d’Edouard LIÈVRE (1828-1886) Paris, vers 1878 Matériaux Bronzes dorés, émaux cloisonnés polychrome et onyx H. 30,5 cm, L. 54 cm, P. 34 cm

Cette jardinière de forme oblongue associe onyx et émaux cloisonnés dans une armature en bronze doré. La caisse en marbre onyx est plaquée de panneaux en émaux cloisonnés à motifs stylisés d’inspiration orientale. Elle est enchâssée dans une riche monture en bronze doré à motifs de consoles, volutes, têtes chimériques et feuillages de bambous. L’emploi de l’onyx se développa dans les années 1860 suite à la redécouverte de ce matériau translucide, compromis entre l’albâtre et le marbre, par le marbrier Delmonte, originaire de Carrare. Ce dernier, souhaitant retrouver les marbres transparents de l’Antiquité, mena des recherches dans la province d’Oran où il découvrit des carrières d’onyx. En 1858, ce dernier céda ses droits à la Compagnie des Marbres et Onyx d’Algérie, installée à Paris. Précieux témoignage de la production des grands bronziers d’art parisiens de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, cette oeuvre peut être attribuée au bronzier Georges Emile Henri Servant (1828-vers 1890) en comparaison avec une autre jardinière conservée en mains privée et portant la signature G.SERVANT MEDle 1867 . Quant aux motifs végétaux visibles sur la base de la caisse, ils s’apparentent fortement aux modèles conçus par Edouard Lièvre (1828-1886) visibles sur des vases ou des brûle-parfums . Servant fut un des grands bronziers parisiens de la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle. Né dans une famille spécialiste de ce matériau , il succéda à son père dès 1855 à la tête d’une fonderie 137, rue Vieille-du-Temple à Paris. Il se spécialisa dans la production de pendules néo-Egyptiennes, alors très populaires en France depuis les années 1860, mais aussi d’objets décoratifs de style Grec qui lui valurent la médaille d’or à l’Exposition Universelle de Paris en 1867. En 1874 Servant connu la consécration avec sa nomination au rang de chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur. A l’Exposition Universelle de 1878, Servant qui fut alors rapporteur et membre du Jury de la classe des bronzes d’art, exposa néanmoins des vases et des petites pièces de mobilier en bronze, qui retiennent une fois de plus l’admiration générale. Il prit finalement sa retraite peu avant l’Exposition Universelle de 1889.
