Sobre este artículo
Album with 52 photographs – each ca 220 x 280 mm – on black cardboard mounts showing clocks, mantelpieces, wall appliques, lanterns, chandeliers, bronzes and candelstands cast by the atelier of Henri Vian in Paris. Each photograph with numbers and dimensions of objects in the negativ. A number of plates with pencilled annotations on back of mounts, with numbering and sometimes dimensions of objects.
Cont. calf, with an all over decoration of floral elements. Spine on five raised bands. Covers framed by double gilt fillets. Foot of spine stamped H. Vian / Paris. Folio (460 x 370 mm). Slightly rubbed, extremeties worn.
Henri Vian (1860-1905), a bronze-caster active in the second half of the 19th century, was specialized in the production of bronzes, light fittings, chandeliers, chimney mantelpieces, ormolu and patinated-mounted vases always of very fine quality. The business, located at 5 rue de Thorigny in Paris (the Salé Mansion, now the Picasso Museum), was continued by Madame Vian after her husband's death in 1905 until 1944, when the city of Paris took over the premises to house the l'Ecole des Métiers d'Art.
Nowadays his grandson Boris Vian, the French writer is probably more prominent than his grandfather.
A luxuriously produced catalogue of this celebrated bronzier, who participated in the 1878 and 1889 Paris world expositions where he received a gold medal and was nominated as juror at the Paris world exposition in 1900. His oeuvre including candelabras, cartels, lamps in gilt bronze or ormolu, grandfather clocks, mantelpieces, vases is still sought after today and commands high prices at auctions. A luxurious catalogue of a famous French bronzier of the 19th century.
