Parrot Chandelier
Popular :
Parrot chandelier in Belle Epoque style but very original and modern for this period. Late 19th century. Original model was gas-lit.
During The Belle Époque, a new spark was given to the exploration and adoration of nature, sparking a renewal of interest in rich materials, marked by a renaissance in goldsmithing, furniture, and decorative arts. Through this, Art Nouveau spread in Europe, highlighting the abundance of nature through its shapes and curves which nourished numerous allegorical themes. The Parrot Chandelier is both inscribed in style but original in the designer's execution, making this fun chandelier unique.
Throughout the ages, it is fascinating to note how an emblematic animal inextricably becomes linked to major discoveries or significant events. At the end of the 18th century, Buffon's Natural History of Birds appeared, which offered a source of inexhaustible creative possibilities for artists. If the chandelier here shows a parrot, the taste for Chinoiseries in the 19th century sometimes replaced the bird with the monkey. This type of chandelier, which was originally lit by gas, carries taps that very subtly play hide and seek in the branches, at the very base of each candle.
Lustre perroquet de style Belle Epoque mais très original et moderne pour cette époque. Fin XIXe siècle. Modèle original éclairé au gaz.
À la Belle Époque, un nouvel élan est donné à l'exploration et à l'adoration de la nature, suscitant un regain d'intérêt pour les matériaux riches, marqué par une renaissance de l'orfèvrerie, du mobilier et des arts décoratifs. L' Art nouveau se répand ainsi en Europe, mettant en valeur l'abondance de la nature à travers ses formes et ses courbes qui nourrissent de nombreux thèmes allégoriques. Le lustre Perroquet est à la fois inscrit dans le style mais original dans l'exécution du designer, ce qui rend ce lustre ludique unique.
À travers les âges, il est fascinant de constater qu'un animal emblématique est inextricablement lié à des découvertes majeures ou à des événements marquants. À la fin du XVIIIe siècle, la parution de l'Histoire naturelle des oiseaux de Buffon a offert aux artistes une source inépuisable de possibilités créatives. Si le lustre représente ici un perroquet, le goût pour les chinoiseries au XIXe siècle a parfois remplacé l'oiseau par le singe. Ce type de lustre, à l'origine éclairé au gaz, porte des robinets qui jouent très subtilement à cache-cache dans les branches, à la base même de chaque bougie.
