About the Item
Crafted in the early 20th century, this fireplace in oak and blue stoneware is a creation by the Parisian firm Gentil & Bourdet, founded in 1904. The stoneware panels framing the hearth feature prominent Egyptian scarabs in high relief, interwoven with stylized foliage. The tapering overmantel, reminiscent of a pyramid, is faced with plain blue stoneware tiles. At the center of the frieze, a floral medallion is flanked by a knotted rope motif on each side, reinforcing the piece’s symbolic and exotic character.
This fireplace exemplifies the innovative design language of Gentil & Bourdet, whose work bridged the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. Renowned for their use of glazed stoneware in architectural ornamentation, the firm’s pieces were widely adopted in buildings across France. This model was exhibited in the furniture section of the 1904 Salon de l’Art Décoratif, organized by the Société des Artistes Français. Critic Gustave Soulier noted the piece in the Revue mensuelle d’Art contemporain, writing: “Messrs. Gentil and Bourdet made excellent use of stoneware in the two fireplaces they presented” (p. 14).

The large overmantel mirror sumptuously raises the space of the chimney, structured with two consoles allowing to place lamps. Two distinct doors are also part of the composition, both surmounted by a small carved wood overmantel...
