$6,726 Sale Price30% Off - Early 19th Century Pendule Portefaix, Firegilt Bronze, Empire, Circa 1810Located in Greven, DEPendule Portefaix France (Toulouse) bronze, enamel Empire around 1810 Dimensions: H x W x D: 36 x 28 x 11 cm Description: Beautiful fire-gilded and patinated bronze pendulum from the early 19th century. Depicted is a young man carrying a large cotton package on his back. In his right hand he holds a letter, with his left he is leaning on a bamboo stick. His tobacco pipe is stuck in his hat string, and he carries his water bottle on his belt. In interesting color contrast is not only the fire gilding to the deep black patinated bronze, but also particularly striking are the white glass eyes. The ciselleur has managed to make materials tangible through different surface treatments. For example, the skin is discreetly hatched differently from the cotton fabric of the trousers; the bottle, bracelets and pannier are polished in gold. The proportions of the figure are perfectly struck, and the drapery on the trousers emphasizes the dynamic movement. The heart of the watch is an 8-day movement with date from the Prevost Freres workshop, which is attested in Toulouse from 1809. The Breguet hands are blued, the pendulum is suspended on a thread, typical of the time. The clock strikes a bell on the half and full hour. Fun Facts: The depiction of Le Portefaix is by Parisian bronze caster Jean-André Reiche, who registered his artistic design in Paris in 1808. In addition to the depiction of the cotton picker, there are numerous other pendulums that deal with the theme of colonization. Other themes from the "new world" were also treated artistically - exotic animals and plants - butterflies, birds of paradise, tobacco and spices.... Today's viewers react to the objects with both fascination and irritation. Enthusiastic on the one hand by the obvious quality of the detailed bronzes, on the other hand distanced-cautious because of the possible discrimination that is suspected behind it. The ambivalence of this feeling motivates the search for the conditions of origin of these pendulums. Europeans found their new ideal of the natural man mainly in fictional and realistic travelogues about the Indians of North America...Category
