A French silvered-bronze athénienne by Ferdinand Barbedienne, Paris, last quarter 19th century with a revolving liner, the frieze applied with bucrania suspending ribbon-tied berried laurel swags above a border of bellflowers on a stippled ground above three seated female sphinxes issuing stylised foliage and scrolls on lion monopodia cast with the mask of Hercules, scrolling foliage and anthemions joined by stretchers, raised on a concave-sided triform marble base on a further thin silvered-bronze base, inscribed to the tripod base 'F. BARBEDIENNE' Measures: 103.3cm. high, 41.5cm. diameter; 3ft. 4 3/8 in, 1ft. 4 1/4. This impressive athénienne is a key reminder of the longevity of a particular model and design’s success from Antiquity through to the 19th century and up until this day. Typically known as the ‘Trépied du Temple d’Isis’, this athénienne is designed after the Roman antique originally found at Pompeii and now at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples (fig.1). From being for example an inspiration for the baptismal font of Napoléon’s son in 1811, this model was the inspiration to many highly skilled makers throughout the 19thcentury such as the Manfredini brothers from Milan and of course the Parisian well-established bronze founder Ferdinand Barbedienne who executed the present example. The Temple of Isis was a Roman temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis and was among one of the first discoveries during the excavation of Pompeii in 1764. Certainly considered as one of the most elegant examples of antique tripods, the existence of this model was then popularized to the rest of Europe via prints, one of the first being by Giovanni Battista Piranesi in 1779. This type of tripod was also popularised by an engraving in C. Percier and P. Fontaine’s, Receuil de Décorations Intérieures of 1801. Interestingly, there is also a watercolour now in the Musée Carnavalet, Paris, showing this type of tripod displayed at the 1801 Exposition des Produits de L’Industrie in the Louvre. The passion for Greek and Roman Art in the 19th century. The discovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum around the middle of the 18th century gave rise to a new passion for Antiquity and the excavated masterpieces renewed the repertoire of fine and decorative arts and served as models for Neoclassicism. Members of the aristocracy as well as connoisseurs, particularly in England, completed their education by undertaking a ‘Grand Tour’ of Italy and often fell victim to the recently unearthed Greek and Roman artefacts...

A charming Art Deco English silver-plated novelty tea set, modelled as three elegant vintage motor cars and comprising a teapot, milk jug and covered sugar bowl. Highly decorative yet functional, the sculptural automobile forms bring wit and sophistication to the traditional English tea service. With polished silver surfaces, fitted lids and distinctive period styling, this collectable vintage car tea set makes an exceptional conversation piece for entertaining, display or gifting. Of English origin, the set bears a series of impressed maker’s and registration-style marks to the underside, as shown in the photographs. These marks contribute to its period character and may assist further attribution and dating. Combining the traditions of English silver-plated tableware with novelty automobile design, the set has particular appeal to collectors of vintage motoring memorabilia, decorative antiques and unusual British tea and coffee wares. Each piece is imaginatively fashioned as a classic open-top motor car, complete with sculpted wheels, sweeping mudguards and beautifully modelled bodywork. The largest car forms the teapot with a black angular handle, while the accompanying covered vessels complete the three-piece service. Playful without sacrificing elegance, this novelty car-shaped tea set is equally at home on a formal afternoon tea table, cocktail cabinet or collector’s display. Preserve the lustre of this vintage silver-plated tea service by polishing sparingly with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and a specialist product suitable for silver plate. Avoid dishwashers, abrasive cleaners and prolonged soaking, particularly around joints, handles and fitted components. After use, wash carefully by hand and dry immediately. Gentle handling will help maintain the polished finish, decorative details and distinctive character of these unusual English novelty silver-plated wares. Crafted in silver-plated metal, the set demonstrates inventive English decorative metalwork through its combination of functional serving vessels and meticulously shaped automobile bodies. Hinged or fitted lids, handles, spouts and three-dimensional wheels are cleverly integrated into the motor-car forms. The unusual construction makes this three-piece English silver-plated tea set particularly desirable for collectors of novelty silver, classic car memorabilia...
