About the Item
Decorated with Insects
From our Decorative collection, we are delighted to offer a pair of French Aesthetic Movement Bronze Vases. The French Bronze Vases are beautifully shaped upon flared slate plinth bases with tapered oval bodies and a large trumpet mouth rim finished with gilt accents. Each decorated with Aesthetic Movement influences having strapped handles with shaped accents. The body of each vase is decorated with large Kenaf leaves and flower buds surrounded by insects. The foot of the vase is finished with a banding of matching decoration with alternating foliage and insects. The vases are very much in the manner of Ferdinand Barbedienne and date to the Aesthetic Movement era (c.1868-1900) and the late 19th century circa 1880.
Aesthetic Movement (Aestheticism) was an art movement in the second half of the 19th century. The purpose was for society to value the appearance of literature, music, fonts and the arts over their functions. It was the hope that it would allow escape of the ugliness and materialism of the Industrial Age and quoted being ‘art for arts sake’. Aestheticism flourished in the 1870s and 1880s, gaining prominence and the support of notable writers such as Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde.
Ferdinand Barbedienne (1810-1892) Born in Saint-Pierre-en-Auge, Northwestern France. Barbedienne began life as a wallpaper salesman before going into partnership with Achille Collas in 1838 the founder of a mechanical device capable of replicating miniature models of famous sculptures. From 1838 Barbedienne grew substantially to become one of the most well known French founders and sculptures of the 19th century.
Bronze is a metal alloy consisting of copper, about 12% tin and often other metals such as aluminium, manganese, nickel, or zinc and sometimes, non-metals such as phosphorus, arsenic and, silicon. The additions produce a range of alloys that are harder than copper alone and often have other useful properties such as strength, ductility, and/or machinability.
