Tribal Art - African Art Fang Male Reliquary Figure (Bieri Style), Fang-Betsi Subgroup, Gabon, Circa 1950s Carved from dense hardwood, this 19-inch-tall figure with dark, very beautiful patina, stands in a composed stance, holding a small box-like object close to the chest—a gesture associated with protection or ritual offering. Height: 19 in. (48.3 cm) x Width: 5 in. (12.8 cm) x Depth: 5 in. (12.8 cm) without base. Height: 21 in 1/4 (54 cm) x Width: 5 in 7/8. (15 cm) x Depth: 5 in 1/2 (14 cm) with base. Provenance: Multiple successive collections, France. According to the previous owner, this sculpture was originally brought from Gabon to France during the colonial period and passed through several private collections thereafter. We conservatively date the piece to the mid-20th century, corresponding to the period it remained in the collection of the prior owner. This powerful male figure exemplifies the classical aesthetic and spiritual principles of the Fang Bieri tradition, specifically aligned with the Betsi subgroup. Standing in a rigid frontal stance, the figure clutches a small object close to its chest, a gesture commonly associated with ritual offering, protection, or ancestral invocation. Carved from an exceptionally hard and heavy wood, the figure is marked by a rich, dark patina acquired through age and possible ritual handling. The anatomical emphasis—particularly the pronounced musculature, exaggerated genitalia, and the expressive weight of the limbs—evokes the Fang ideals of vitality, fertility, and ancestral potency. The oversized head, with its serene, meditative expression and stylized features, conveys a sense of introspective calm and spiritual authority. The schematic coiffure, carved in ridged vertical bands, further confirms its alignment with traditional depictions of respected male elders. The figure belongs to the Bieri tradition, an ancestral cult that functioned as the cornerstone of Fang spiritual and social identity for centuries. As the Fang people migrated southward through Equatorial Africa—from present-day Cameroon into northern Gabon—they carried bark containers (called nsek bieri) holding the skulls of revered ancestors. These containers were typically surmounted by carved guardian figures like this one, which both protected the sacred...

For project developers, Architects and Interior Designers. For Hotels, Restaurants or big mansions and Lodges, etc... Chandelier & Sconces from George V Hotel Paris 1960's. One-of-a-kind - A unique opportunity to own a piece of French luxury and history... Spectacular and large chandelier with 6 matching sconces from the George V Hotel in Paris. Circa 1960s. In the style of Gaetano Sciolari or Gino Sarfatti. We contacted the George V hotel in Paris, now owned by the Four Seasons group, and learned that they did not keep the archives from that period. Therefore, they have been unable to confirm the artist or the manufacturer of this chandelier and sconces. This chandelier and sconces represent a moment in history from a Parisian hotel where famous people and celebrities from around the world stayed for decades. The structure is metal. Four iron frames must be assembled to form a unique frame of approximately 240 x 240 cm (95" x 95"). On this structure, 8 pieces of aluminum covered in brass are screwed on like a puzzle, separated by heavy bronze frames. From this structure hang around one thousand (1000) lucite (acrylic) tubes (rods) arranged in a diamond pattern. The tallest tube measures 120 cm (4 ft) high. Unfortunately, we do not have images of the chandelier when it was mounted on the ceiling at the George V hotel, as at that time, photography was not allowed inside the hotel. The sconces measure approximately 68 cm wide (27") by 21 cm deep (8") by 120 cm (4ft) high, with the 54 tubes (rods) installed. The wiring needs to be fully redone with an LED system. The original wiring used neon lights...

Circa 1960 Drouant Restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Paris. Located at 16-18, Place Gaillon in Paris. Begun in 1880 as a small bistro, the Restaurant Drouant was soon frequented by literary and artistic figures including Daudet, Rodin, Pissarro, and Renoir, who would dine together there on Friday nights, paving the way for the restaurant's reputation as a locus of intellectual and artistic life in Paris. Since 1914, the French literary organization l'Académie Goncourt has met in the salon Drouant, and continues to announce its famous annual prize, "Le Prix de Goncourt'' from the Ruhlmann designed wrought iron staircase...
