Gabriel Viardot - French 19th Century Fire Screen in Stained Wood and Dyed Silk

About the Item

This beautiful 19th century rectangular mantel screen in stained wood attributed to Gabriel Viardot, showcases exquisite craftsmanship typical of his work. It is carved with a dragon on the left, open work scrolls in the sino japanese style on the right and in the belt on a curved cornered base forming ornate claw feet. The centerpiece is an exquisite and delicate embroidery in dyed silk that features embroidered birds and butterflies on a leafy background. This unique piece highlights the elegance and artistry of Viardot characteristic of 19th-century French decorative arts, reflecting both beauty and functionality as a partition or decorative piece.
