Paravento alla chinoiserie. Italia, secondo quarto XIX secolo
By Non-Standard Furniture and Lighting
Located in Milano, IT
Paravento a cinque pannelli snodabili; in pioppo interamente laccato in nero, è decorato con motivi dipinti alla chinoiseie: dragoni, scimmie, volatili, e riserve raffiguranti scene di vita cinese, di giocoleria e di combattimento. Presenta cornici fogliacee dorate a decorazione della cimasa e della parte inferiore. Rivisitazione del designer Pietro Russo con stoffa Dedar. Già ampiamente diffuse alla fine del secolo percedente, le chinoiserie ebbero una vera e propria diffusione nell’Ottocento, apprezzate e richieste dalle principali corti europee. I richiami alla Cina e all’Oriente in genere erano in grado di richiamare un esotismo tanto qpperezzato a livello estetico quanto a livello culturale. Il calligrafismo dei disegni a chinoiserie, l’eterongeneo bestiario (sia reale che fantastico) e le scene di vita, offrivano infatti infinite soluzioni decorative per piccoli oggetti e intere pareti, creando interessanti effetti sccenografici nell’allestimento delle grandi sale. Tra i principali propomotori delle chinoiserie vi fu re Giorgio IV che, con la costruzione del Royal Pavilion a Brighton come palazzo di piacere sul mare, decise di allestire alcuni dei locali proprio con questo stile. In particolare la Banqueting Room, la Long Gallery e la Music Room presentano arredi, lampadari, oggettistica quali porcellane, ma anche moquette e vetrate, di gusto orientaleggiante. Le pareti della stanza dedicata alla musica, furono decorate con scene di vita cinese, in oro su fondo rosso, realizzate da Frederick Crace e Henry...

Pair Italian Neoclassical Craved and Gilt Wood Mythical Beasts, mid 19th century
Located in Austin, TX
A powerful and dramatic pair of Italian neoclassical carved and gilt wood mythical animal figures on faux painted bases, mid 19th century or earlier, Italy. The fantastic beasts are well carved, with dramatic wings that follow the sensuous curve of the neck, and a sinuous body ends in an eel-like tail gracefully curled in upon itself. The bearded heads feature a flattened snout with sharp teeth and a lolling tongue, and pointed horse ears and mane. The long forelegs stretched out in front of them and ending in pawed and clawed feet. The beasts have characteristics of several different mythical animals, making them hard to positively identify. The most likely candidates would be dragons, hippocampi, or chimeras. The beasts are unfinished to the back, indicating they were originally part of a relief decoration, possibly from a mirror. They have now been mounted to wooden bases faux painted to imitate porphyry. They would make perfect bookends or mantle sculptures.
