Black Eagle - Soldering Iron Sculpture - Jean Alexandre Delattre - Period XXth

About the Item

A fantastic sculpture made with a soldering iron. It is called "THE BLACK EAGLE". It is titled and signed on the base. It is a Unique piece! Measures: H: 120 x W: 110 x D: 75 cm ean-Alexandre Delattre was born in 1935 in Pont du Château, in the Puy de Dôme. No metal can resist his know-how and his imagination. This talented creator uses the torch and the welding machine for tools. From a lifeless metal, he creates an object with a soul that transports you to a world full of grace, humor and emotion. Delattre is a simple, human, laughing man! In his work we find Jacques Tati, Peynet, Prévert, Brassens. He participates in several exhibitions in France and abroad. He has many accomplishments to his credit. Collections (National Assembly, Paris-Place de l'Hotel de Ville, Verneuil-sur-Avre-Rond-point port du Pouliguen, the newspaper l'Express, Paris-Hôtel de Ville de Rueil-Malmaison-Théâtre de Plaisir-Center Leclerc , Cherré etc.). Multiple distinctions including the Medal of Vermeil Arts Sciences Lettres 2002, First prize for welded sculptures awarded by ESSA and SIS to the Museum of Arts and Crafts Paris 2001, Medal of the General Council of Orne. He has set up his studio in the middle of the fields, not far from a forest, and his works are everywhere, they walk outside, on the path that leads to the road, in the garden and they even go into the house. They are sometimes of gigantic size, often of human size, and also of smaller size, but always the same excitement, the same grace. He is a very great creator! Certificat remis avec l’objet.

  • Natural Stone Sculpture - Sodalite - China - Late 19th Century Period
    Located in CRÉTEIL, FR
    A very fine piece of natural stone, Sodalite, made in China. Finely chiselled, this large statue depicts a scene of life in which several ancient symbols stand side by side, such as the Phoenix, swallows, a horse, earthly abundance with its luxuriant vegetation, fruit, but also food from the ocean and its generous fish, a man, a woman and a child. First discovered in Greenland in 1806, Sodalite was analysed by a Scottish chemist 5 years later (1811), Mr Thomas Thomson. Several long years went by without it achieving any real success. It was not until 1891 that the stone was recognised as an ornamental stone.    It was during a diplomatic trip to Canada in 1901 that Mary de Teck (wife of King George V) discovered Sodalite and fell under the spell of this natural stone.  The princess ordered a large quantity of Sodalite to decorate her London flats. Sodalite quickly became fashionable.   Period: Late 19th century - Napoleon III Dimensions: Total height with base: 92cm x Width: 31.5cm x Depth: 27cm Dimensions of wooden base: Height: 7cm x Length: 25cm x Width: 23cm But what do these symbols mean? The phoenix, a mythological bird, symbolises purification and rebirth, as it is said to rise from its own ashes.   This magnificent bird is also synonymous with good fortune, opportunity and luck in Asian cultures. In feng shui, the phoenix is also one of the four celestial animals (sometimes also known as the red bird or red raven). The red phoenix...
