VIARDOT Gabriel (1830-1906) - Lot 139
VIARDOT Gabriel (1830-1906) Carved wood sellette with stylized decor highlighted by gilt bronze elements, standing on four legs linked by an openwork brace and ending in lion paws. Signed. (tray changed) Height : 111 cm Note: A Parisian cabinetmaker emblematic of Japonism at the end of the XIXᵉ century, Gabriel Viardot transformed European taste for the Far East into refined furniture. Originating from a family workshop, he became independent in 1860 to found his own company, which he developed with a hundred craftsmen. His work is characterized by sculpted forms, inlays and bronze ornaments borrowed from Oriental vocabulary. His work includes Georges Clemenceau's U-shaped desk. Viardot received numerous awards at the Universal Exhibitions, including gold medals in 1889 and 1900.
