Sideboard by André Simard, Meubles André Simard Edition, 1955

Bumper is a sideboard with three doors. By combining two materials (the pink copper of the doors and the deep black of the oxidized zinc top with its bluish glints) and two textures (the bumpy appearance of the doors and the smoothness of the top), the artist has created a study in contrasts that changes with the light.

We can cite for example Christopher Payne, the leading expert on the subject who writes in his book "Paris la quintessence du meuble au XIXème siècle" in the chapter on "Jansen Jean-Henri (1854-1929)" on page 396: "The initials "ZJ" affixed to the back of the bronzes have long been attributed to Jansen, cited as "Zwiener Jansen". However, we believe that these initials also refer to the furniture made in Berlin by Julius Zwierner and not necessarily to those of Jansen. To complicate things, Jansen bought the "ZJ" master models. The latter being mainly of the type and style of those originally modelled by Léon Messagé, who was an independent sculptor until the end of 1890." Along similar lines, Christopher Payne writes in the chapter on "Zwiener Emmanuel...
