About the Item

Hand-worked in circa 1800, this French copper lavabo has been mounted more recently to a shaped wooden board with edges painted in a matching copper hue. The upper receptacle, which is designed to hold water for hand washing, features a quartered coat of arms topped by a crown and flanked by dolphin supporters. It is topped with a molded lid that has been hammered with a ring of egg and dart, matching a ring that graces the vessel above a bronze spigot. Positioned directly under the tap is a wide basin, which functions as the sink. It has bronze handles on the side, allowing the water to be disposed of after everyone has cleaned their hands. A pair of twisting dolphins can be seen on either side of a bearded mascaron, above a ring of foliage. With the advent of running water, lavabos are no longer used as a cleaning station, instead most collectors will hang them on walls as decorative planters. The backing board has been rigged with wire, allowing our coat of arms lavabo to be hung immediately in a kitchen, bar area, or hallway. Upper receptacle dimensions: H – 18 ¼, W – 12 ½. Basin dimensions: H – 9 1/8, W – 18 1/8, D – 14 ¼.

18th Century Repousse Decorated Copper Chaudron from France

Located in Dallas, TX

A beautiful example of a period Louis XVI chaudron, or cauldron, the copper has been decorated with a metalworking technique known as repousse, where low relief motifs are hammered from the reverse side. Many motifs from Louis XVI were inspired by ancient civilizations (Egypt, Rome, Greece, etc.), such as the mascarons and cartouches seen on the sides of this chaudron. There are two distinct mythological scenes on opposite sides, set in between a pair of twisted loop handles emanating from the mouth of a heavily bearded mascaron with a tied bow in his hair. One image depicts Pegasus rearing up as a man with a sword...

Circa 1800 French Copper 2-Handled Vase with Chariot and Cartouche

Located in Dallas, TX

Hand-worked circa 1800, this French vase is adorned with a chariot and cartouche scene. Some of the elements were hammered from the front side, in a metalworking technique known as chasing, while other motifs were worked from the verso side, which is known as repousse. It is not uncommon for the two methods to be used in tandem, and the work of this particular artisan is top notch. The 5 ¾ diameter opening is flanked by two flared out handles that terminate on the widest part of the main body. A flowing foliate margent (repousse) adorns the top of the body, beneath the lightly textured thick neck (chased). The leaf theme continues beneath a thin ring of roundels that frames the upper body, with a sprawling foliage display that wraps around the lower body, interrupted by a pair of cartouches. One scene depicts a man in a toga with a laurel wreath crown...
