19th C. French Silvered Bronze Islamic Arabesque Motif Centerpiece Att. E Lièvre

About the Item

A Fantastic and Quit Large 19th Century French Silvered Bronze Islamic Arabesque and Floral Motif Centerpiece/Decorative Bowl, Attributed to Édouard Lièvre. This piece is extremely detailed with Islamic Arabesque and floral motifs in variable dimensions of relief that delve around the body of the centerpiece. The body is constructed of silver over bronze and each section is incredibly cast, hand-chased, and hand-chiseled with the finest detail. Flanked on either side of the centerpiece are two marvelous silvered bronze handles each designed with low relief diamond patterns. The top rim is beautifully designed with notched banding and pointed Islamic Arabesque motifs which cascade off the side. The piece is supported by four curved feet which are finely decorated. Edouard Lièvre (1829-1886) was one of the greatest designers of the late 19th century. He was mostly known for his orientalist and Japonism styles. He designed many pieces, which were executed by F. Barbedienne and Christofle, and many retailed by A L'Escalier de Cristal, located near the Opera, 6 rue Scribe in Paris. These exceptional vases are very similar to the persian vase, executed by Lièvre, and exhibited at the Paris Expositions Universelles in the year 1878.
