Maison Marnyhac was the commercial name for la Société des Marbres et Bronzes Artistiques de Paris and was established under the direction of Charles de Marnyhac in Paris in the mid-19th century. They specialized in the creation of luxury items, engaging the best designers to work in their premises, Marnyhac Paris exhibited at The Exposition Universelle in 1878 where they obtains a medal.
The present stand was designed by Edouard Lièvre (1829-1886) who was accredited with creating a combination Sino-Japanese style of design at the end of the 19th century as the Aesthetic Movement was.
Born in 1828 in a modest family, Edouard Lièvre followed the traditional program of painting formation before to direct to the ornamental drawing. If he used to work for the Maison Marnyhac, he also drew for Christofle, Barbedienne or the Escalier De crystal, his creations were very studied by his contemporaries as Sarah Bernhardt or Edouard Detaille.
The second half of the 19th century is characterized by the eclecticism of sources of inspiration; Far East indeed knows a renewed interest with the opening of Japan on the western world from 1868. The fashion for the "Japanese curiosa" and the "chinoiserie" is reflected in the contemporary creations, integrating a vocabulary expert on Japan or becoming Sinicized in their decoration which corresponds perfectly to the taste of the period.
We find here, the exceptional quality of execution but also the ornamental directory expert on Japan with motive for fancies, bamboo and usual valances to this draughtsman, among the most prolix and the most talented of his time.
