Jacques Gruber "Aux Orchidée" Mirror

About the Item

This Jacques Gruber aux orchidée mirror features carved walnut Phaius orchids and inset burgundy cameo glass panels of Oncidium orchids. The popularity of orchids with European audiences had grown dramatically in the fin de siecle, as new colonial ventures made increasingly exotic blooms available to the public. The orchid was used as the Ecole de Nancy’s logo, which reveals the group’s conceptualization of their identity: one who appreciated both contemporary scientific exploration, and the creation of an original vocabulary of ornament. Product Details Item #: F-20551 Artist: Jacques Gruber Country: France Circa: 1900 Dimensions: 53" height, 31" width, 4" depth Materials: Walnut, Beveled Silvered Glass, Cameo Glass Signed: ''J. Gruber'' Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes Darwin published a book on the Fertilisation of Orchids in 1862, in which he analyzed the Nancy Bee Orchid.
