Figur - Pair of Large Ornamental Art Nouveau Pewter Peacocks Signed by G. Van De Voorde (2) - Tinn
Nr. 92895349
Date: ca. 1900
This pair are so very eye-catching, not only due to their emblematic Art Nouveau look but also due to their large size!
These proud peacocks have lavish double plumage on both sides of the opening. The peacock bodies are assimilated with the shape of the vase, with their turned heads being in full-relief, and their bodies in low-relief. They stand on a round foot on which one sees the signature Van De Voorde. There are floral motifs in low-relief on the sides and back of the vases.
These are made of pewter. They were made to be mounted on a marble base and to serve as an ornamental vase (and so not an actual vase for holding water). A previous owner has made a hole in the back ‘plumage’ layer in order to be able to hang them up on a wall; personally I think this is a rather clever way of displaying them although some might argue this is damaging the item.
Georges Van De Voorde (1878-1964) was a Belgian sculptor who was professor at the Academy of Decorative Arts in Brussels. His works are especially in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles and tend to go for high prices in the auction world. This pair of peacocks was also produced in a gilt bronze version and was estimated at auction at 1500 to 2000 USD.
Condition:
Good. No damage apart from the hole made to hang the item up on the wall. The original bases are missing.
Dimensions:
33 cm high, 17 cm wide, 10 cm deep, 1.8 kg each
13” high, 6.7” wide, 3.9” deep, 3.96 pounds each
Historien til selger
Jeg er basert i Belgia, men selger internasjonalt via en e-butikk og under navnet Delagan. Jeg tilbyr et unikt utvalg av dekorative antikke og vintage samleobjekter og små møbler. Mitt utvalg er eklektisk og finnes på antikvitetsmarkeder, privatpersoner og auksjoner.
Min grad i arkeologi og kunsthistorie, et antikk restaureringskurs og et 4-årig statlig organisert kurs i antikviteter og kunsthistorie har gitt meg en troverdig base for å gå på antikvitetsjakt. Men det er fremfor alt min lidenskap for fantastiske gjenstander med en sjel som gjør dagen min og inspirerer meg til å studere dem.
