Seguso Vetri d'Arte pour La Maison Véronèse Paris
Rare et grande paire d’appliques en verre "Coroso"
Designer : Flavio Poli
Manufacture : Seguso Vetri d'Arte
Maison d'édition : La Maison Véronèse Paris
Date de création : 1950
Matériaux : Verre de Murano "Coroso"
L'histoire de Véronèse commence en 1931, une période florissante pour les arts décoratifs à Paris. Après l'Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes de 1925, la demande pour des designs haut de gamme distinctifs et modernes s’accroît. C'est dans ce contexte que Monsieur Barbier fonde La Maison Véronèse, en associant l'art du soufflage du verre à l'esthétique moderne française.
Seguso Vetri d'Arte, fondé en 1933, est l’une des manufactures de verre les plus prestigieuses de Murano. En 1934, Flavio Poli en devient le directeur artistique et introduit des designs innovants qui marqueront les années 1950 et 1960. Le style "Coroso", reconnaissable par sa texture granuleuse obtenue par une technique spécifique de verrerie, est l'un des chefs-d'œuvre de cette époque.

Designer: Flavio Poli
Manufacturer: Seguso Vetri d'Arte
Editor: La Maison Véronèse Paris
Date of Creation: 1950
Materials: Murano "Coroso" Glass
The story of Véronèse begins in 1931, a thriving period for decorative arts in Paris. Following the International Exhibition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts in 1925, demand for distinctive yet modern high-end designs surged. Mr. Barbier, recognizing this opportunity, founded La Maison Véronèse, blending the art of glassblowing with modern French aesthetics.
Founded in 1933, Seguso Vetri d'Arte is one of the most prestigious glass manufacturers in Murano. In 1934, Flavio Poli became its artistic director, introducing groundbreaking designs that defined the 1950s and 1960s. The "Coroso" style, characterized by its granular texture achieved through a special glassmaking technique, is one of the masterpieces of this era.

Flavio Poli
Italian glass artist Flavio Poli’s innovative use of the sommerso technique during the 1950s added a dimension of exquisite beauty and refined elegance to mid-century-era Murano glass design. Today Poli’s vintage table lamps, glass vases, ashtrays and other objects are highly collectible.
Born in Chioggia in 1900, Poli attended the prestigious Istituto d’Arte di Venezia where he trained as a ceramist before turning his attention toward glass art. His career in glass began in 1929 when he worked at the Industrie Vetrerie Artistiche Murano, designing and creating large-scale glass sculptures, urns and bowls.
During the 1930s, Poli was a glass artist for manufacturer Barovier, Seguso and Ferro (later known as Seguso Vetri d’Arte), where he worked alongside pioneering glass master Archimede Seguso. Poli was later appointed artistic director at the Venetian glassworks.
Inspired by Seguso, Poli began to experiment with his own glassblowing techniques. In the 1950s, he helped popularize the decades-old sommerso style, which sees overlapping layers of transparent handblown glass melded through a heating process and immersed in pots of molten colored glass. The style yields a sophisticated and mesmerizing effect — it's as if colored fluids have been trapped inside the layers of clear glass. Poli made use of variations on the technique in many of his pieces, including in designs for vases, bowls, sculptures and more.
Poli’s unparalleled designs and innovative work with the sommerso technique garnered numerous awards and accolades throughout his career. He won five Grand Prix awards at the Milan Triennale and was awarded the Compasso d’Oro prize in 1954. Poli’s designs were also presented at the World’s Fair in Brussels and the Venice Biennale in 1958.
Today, Poli’s work can be found in museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Murano Glass Museum in Venice, Museo Boncompagni Ludovisi in Rome and the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia.

Sylva Bernt - Paire Exceptionnelle d'Appliques en Bronze Patiné (circa 1950)
Located in NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE, FR
Sylva Bernt - Paire Exceptionnelle d'Appliques en Bronze Patiné (circa 1950)
Type : Paire d’appliques en bronze patiné
Date de création : Vers 1950
Dimensions : H : 39 cm L : 36 cm
Décor : Colombes en vol
Marque du fondeur : "Bisceglia"
Cette paire exceptionnelle d’appliques en bronze patiné, réalisée vers 1950, est décorée de colombes en vol, motif cher à Sylva Bernt, une artiste reconnue pour son inspiration antique et son travail sur les formes épurées et symboliques.
Biographie de Sylva Bernt (1910-1995)
Sylva Bernt est une sculptrice et designer italienne, née en 1910 à Gorizia, près de Trieste, et décédée en 1995. Artiste rare et reconnue, elle se distingue par ses créations et commandes publiques en Italie et en France, où elle s’installe vers 1950.
En 1952, après avoir rencontré André Arbus chez le peintre Guido Cadorin à Venise, elle reçoit ses premières commandes françaises. À l’invitation du décorateur, elle participe à la construction du paquebot Bretagne, créant un grand autel en pierre pour la chapelle du navire. Cette collaboration marque le début d’une relation artistique étroite avec Arbus.
Installée Avenue du Maine à Paris, elle devient praticienne d’Arbus, réalisant des éléments décoratifs intégrés à son mobilier. Ensemble, ils répondent à des commandes prestigieuses, tant publiques que privées :
Décoration des paquebots transatlantiques Vietnam (1952) et Pasteur (1961)
Décoration de la villa de Jean-Marie Terrin à Aix-en-Provence (1955), où elle réalise des panneaux monumentaux en pierre de Chassagne rose, inspirés de la mythologie antique, dans un style néo-assyrien.
Son inspiration antique lui permet de livrer certaines des plus belles interprétations modernes des mythes gréco-romains. Sa parfaite connaissance de la statuaire antique se traduit dans des créations en marbre, calcaire, plomb, plâtre, terre et bronze. Parmi ses œuvres notables, on retrouve Le Centaure (1961), une étude en encre démontrant fluidité et spontanéité du trait.
En 1955, elle conçoit une longue frise historique sur l’épopée viking, destinée au Grand Salon du Palais des Consuls de la Chambre de Commerce de Rouen.

Biography of Sylva Bernt (1910-1995)
Sylva Bernt was an Italian sculptor and designer, born in 1910 in Gorizia, near Trieste, and passed away in 1995. A rare yet recognized artist, she was renowned for her public commissions in Italy and France, where she settled around 1950.
In 1952, after meeting André Arbus at painter Guido Cadorin’s studio in Venice, she received her first French commissions. At Arbus’ invitation, she contributed to the construction of the Bretagne ocean liner, creating a large stone altar for the ship’s chapel. This collaboration marked the beginning of a close artistic relationship with Arbus.
Settling in Avenue du Maine, Paris, she became Arbus’ practitioner, creating decorative elements that he incorporated into his furniture designs. Together, they worked on prestigious projects, both public and private:
Decoration of the ocean liners Vietnam (1952) and Pasteur (1961)
Creation of monumental panels for Jean-Marie Terrin’s villa in Aix-en-Provence (1955), carved in pink Chassagne stone, inspired by ancient mythology in a neo-Assyrian style.
Her classical inspiration led her to produce some of the most refined modern interpretations of Greco-Roman myths. With extensive knowledge of antique statuary, she mastered materials such as marble, limestone, lead, plaster, terracotta, and bronze. Among her key works, Le Centaure (1961) stands out, showcasing her fluid and spontaneous linework.
In 1955, she designed a long historical frieze depicting the Viking epic...
