EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of French Japonisme artistry - a silvered-bronze aquarium and pedestal. Created by the renowned Ferdinand Barbedienne, with design attributed to Edouard LiAvre, this exquisite work dates back to around 1880. Standing at an impressive height of 143 cm, the centerpiece is a spherical glass bowl encased within a silvered bronze bamboo frame. Delicately adorned with miniature turtles and crowned by a pierced foliate rim, it exudes elegance and sophistication. The three bamboo trellis handles in the shape of Chinese-character shou roundels provide both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The pedestal itself is equally enchanting. Its circular top is flanked by two geometric bamboo-form handles, while four bixi creatures embellish its surface. The columnar central support mimics rope-tied bamboo and is accompanied by climbing mythical dragons on three bejeweled elephant head feet. Signed by F. Barbedienne and stamped BB on the base, this masterpiece exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship. However, time has left its mark on the original glass bowl with inclusions from its making as well as cracks and chips that add character to its history. Captured beautifully through this print courtesy of eChristies Images from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are able to appreciate every intricate detail of this French Japonisme treasure that now resides in a private collection.
