Antique Hand Carved Phoenix & Dragon w. Large Mirror Side Table Entry Hall Stand
Antique Hand Carved Phoenix & Dragon w. Large Mirror Side Table Entry Hall Stand

Antique Hand Carved Phoenix & Dragon w. Large Mirror Side Table Entry Hall Stand

By Gabriel Viardot

Located in Lisse, NL

Rare large and extremely sculptural wall table with marble inlay and beveled mirror. If you are appreciative of rare and sculptural antiques then this large mirror / side table could be exactly what you are looking for. The quality and the patina of the large, fighting phoenix bird and dragon frame is second to none and for it to be in such good condition is truly amazing. It takes a special craftsman and artist to create such a piece, the type that you simply don't find anymore in this day and age. Because of the subject matter and the great quality, the first name that comes to mind would be that of master sculptor Gabriel Viardot. However, Viardot virtually made all of his dragon sculptures in the Chinoiserie style and this piece is clearly more European. In terms of the quality of the carvings, whomever created this unique piece of furniture certainly was no less artistic or skilled as Viardot, because this piece really is among the best you will ever see. The way in which this hand carved wooden phoenix is holding the shield-like beveled mirror in its claws and the way the dragon seems to try to fend off the enormous and fierce phoenix is both dramatic and impressive at the same time and it will never seize to amaze you or anyone visiting. Especially when you see the detailed carvings and the true size of this work of beauty in real life, you will be stunned. By the way, we learned that in imperial China, the dragon and the phoenix were respectively associated with the Emperor and the Empress...

Aleksandra Kasuba, "One Divided by One", Black Marble Mosaic, Signed

By Aleksandra Kasuba

Located in New York, NY

"One divided by One", by Aleksandra Kasuba, black marble mosaic, signed. A versatile environmental artist, Kasuba was born in Ginkunai, Lithuania, 1923 and died in New Mexico, March 5, 2019. She collaborated with furniture designer Vladimir Kagan in the early 1960s, embellishing his designs with tile mosaics. Still very active today with many projects and based in New Mexico, she told us via email in April 2018, that a major retrospective of her life's work was held in the fall of 2019 at the National Gallery in Vilnius, Lithuania. "One Divided by One" is from her 1966 breakout show at NYC's Grippi & Waddell Gallery (January 25 to February 12, 1966). The work is minimalist in nature and features a center of two parallel lines moving in opposite directions. Signed Aleksandra Kasuba and dated 1964 on verso. Retains original gallery label. According to her own account, this one-woman show, “Black Marble Mosaics,” at the Grippi Waddell Gallery, opened the doors to the commissions and public installations that followed. A PDF copy of Grippi & Waddell Gallery show is available upon request. Below is a short list of her public and private commissions: A 208 sq. ft. pebble mosaic...

Large 19th Century Florentine Heraldic Pietra Dura Plaque, Allegory of Peace, c.

Located in Lincoln, GB

Large 19th Century Florentine Heraldic Pietra Dura Plaque, Allegory of Peace, c.1890 This magnificent late 19th-century Italian Pietra Dura (Florentine mosaic) plaque is a virtuoso work of lapidary art, representing the absolute pinnacle of luxury commissions from the historic workshops of Florence. Often described as "painting in stone," this complex technique involves the meticulous cutting, fitting, and polishing of specimen hardstones and semi-precious minerals to create a seamless, fluid pictorial composition. Unlike standard, decorative multi-figure works, this specific plaque is a highly sophisticated, bespoke Heraldic and Allegorical Commission. Woven directly into the stone landscape are precise aristocratic charges: a prominent coat of arms featuring three chevrons, balanced by three doves perched in the trees. In European heraldry, the three chevrons traditionally symbolise amplified protection, faithful service, and the robust founding or fortification of a noble house. The three doves perched in flourishing branches signify peace, fidelity, and a family lineage rooted in prosperous, divine tranquility rather than bloody conquest. The plaque acts as a beautiful Allegory of Harmony and Peace, depicting a seated musician serenading a companion under the direct protection of the noble family crest. The master lapidary artist has seamlessly utilised the natural veining, variegation, and shading of choice jaspers, agates, chalcedonies, and colored marbles to simulate the organic textures of fabric folds, tree bark, and lifelike tones, all set against a flawless, solid black Belgian marble ground. History & Origin Technique: Commesso Fiorentino / Pietra Dura (Florentine Inlay Mosaic) Period: Late 19th Century (Circa 1880–1900) Origin: Florence, Italy Materials: Inlaid specimen hardstones (including jaspers, agates, and porphyry) on a black marble base. Dealer’s Comments "This is an absolute masterpiece of the craft, and its sheer physical presence is extraordinary. At 54cm square and weighing a very heavy 6.6kg, it is a truly substantial piece of lapidary art. What elevates this far above standard Florentine plaques...
