French Terracotta Sculpture by Fernand Guignier, Early to Mid-1900s
About the Item
This terracotta was signed by its maker, Fernand Guignier (1902-1972) in the early to mid-20th century. The subject is a tender interpretation of two putti trying to offer a bird some water. There is a wooden keg of water between the putti, which they are holding while pouring water for the bird. The bird is resting upon the top of the keg with his wings open and his beak aiming towards the water. One putto has his arm around the shoulder of the other, comforting him. It is 17 inches long with a nice pale color, good details, and it is in good condition.

- Early 1900s Regence Style Bleached Oak Partners Desk from FranceLocated in Dallas, TXAs a transitional age in French history, the Regence period is known for furniture that showcases forms of the preceding period (Louis XIV), as well as early Louis XV stylings. In the case of this bleached oak partner’s desk, the motifs are prefigures of the Rococo style of Louis XV, while still maintaining the rectilinear form often seen with Louis XIV furnishings. Hand-carved in France in the early 1900s, the oak wood has been bleached more recently, resulting in a warm, golden brown hue with some fascinating wood grains. A cavetto molding graces the top on all sides, even in the slightly recessed areas above the leg holes. Both sides of the desk have been carved identically, with three belt drawers featuring arabesque margents with foliate shells and thin molding. Similar vertical carvings flank the doors, which are rectangular panels adorned with geometric and foliate motifs. Both doors to the right of the leg hole open to reveal three pull-out drawers, while the doors to the left front three shelves. The rectilinear form is softened by eight short cabriole legs, each with a paw foot pad, beneath a sinuous apron embellished with a foliate shell medallion over thin molding. Our well-carved partner’s desk...Category
