Tutte le aste / Lampade / AFTER THE ANTIQUE, A NAPLES BRONZE FLOOR LAMP WITH ORIGINAL PARCHMENT
AFTER THE ANTIQUE, A NAPLES BRONZE FLOOR LAMP WITH ORIGINAL PARCHMENT SHADE CIRCA 1900 175cm high, base 42cm wide Provenance: Yvette Guilbert (1865 - 1944), 28 bis Boulevard Berthier, Paris; and by descent, Sold by her descendants at Artcurial, Paris; There acquired by Rose Uniacke, London; From whom acquired by the present owner This statuesque floor lamp was made for the Parisian actress and cabaret singer Yvette Guilbert, remaining with her descendants until recently. Guilbert was a muse of many of the great artists of the Belle Époque including Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Pablo Picasso, and most notably, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who dedicated his second book of sketches to her, encapsulating with great affection the singer's pale skin, shocking red hair, and signature long black gloves. Guilbert's international success enabled her to commission the architect Xavier Schoellkopf to build a spectacular Art Nouveau mansion on Boulevard Berthier in Paris in 1900, for where this lamp and several other matching articles were commissioned for Mme. Guilbert's bedroom. The design of this sculptural floor or standard lamp follows a 3rd - 5th century B.C. Etruscan thymiaterion (incense burner), that was possibly cast from a Pompeian original by the leading Neapolitan bronze foundry Fonderia Chiurazzi. It is interesting to note that this lamp predates, and may well have influenced, those of notably comparable form by Diego Giacometti (1902-85), which also depict birds perched upon triform bases, and were supplied with similar stitched parchment shades. Likewise, that Mme Guilbert continued to commission pieces from the leading designers in Paris including a piano by Jacques Playel, decorated in lacquer by Jean Dunand, in 1913. Condition Report: Overall with a verdigris patina, this is antique in appearance and probably uneven by design, almost certainly originally fitted for oil and later fitted for electricity - the current fittings are modern The shade is in presentable order, it attaches via three internal eyes and is held by the tension of the metal arms from the lamp - this is all entirely solid and stable at time of report Please see additional images for visual reference to condition and appearance Condition Report Disclaimer, AFTER THE ANTIQUE, A NAPLES BRONZE FLOOR LAMP WITH ORIGINAL PARCHMENT SHADE, AFTER THE ANTIQUE, A NAPLES BRONZE FLOOR LAMP WITH ORIGINAL PARCHMENT SHADE CIRCA 1900 175cm high, base 42cm wide Provenance: Yvette Guilbert (1865 - 1944), 28 bis Boulevard Berthier, Paris; and by descent, Sold by her descendants at Artcurial, Paris; There acquired by Rose Uniacke, London; From whom acquired by the present owner This statuesque floor lamp was made for the Parisian actress and cabaret singer Yvette Guilbert, remaining with her descendants until recently.
