ART NOUVEAU & ART DECO

The two celebrated styles of Art Nouveau and Art Deco established foundations for design in the 20th century. Art Nouveau began in the late 19th century and continued into the early 1900s, while Art Deco followed and concluded with the onset of the Second World War. Arguably they have much in common and simultaneously nothing.

Confusion arises because neither style is easy to define, and each has generated much debate. This is perhaps because they did not develop out of a group, have a central leader, or a set of philosophical premises but rather each reflected the spirit of the age.

Both styles came to public attention in Paris – Art Nouveau at the 1900 Exposition Universelle and Art Deco at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in 1925. They were international styles finding geographically relevant and diverse expressions. It is perhaps these regional manifestations that further make the styles challenging to precisely delineate.

Art Nouveau and Art Deco were diverse in their creative vocabularies and spread across a breadth of disciplines and media, including architecture, furniture, lighting, sculpture, metalwork, glass, ceramics, textiles, carpets, posters, fashion and jewellery.

WHAT ARE THE KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF ART NOUVEAU?

Art Nouveau was inspired by the Arts & Crafts Movement in Britain and the belief that good design and craftsmanship could redeem society from the decay of industrialisation and ever-growing urbanisation. It maintained the conviction that there should be no distinction between fine art and applied art and that both are of equal merit.

Nature provided both a subject matter and a visual language of organic and asymmetrical forms, with sinuous, whiplash lines and a rich repertoire of colours and textures. When it came to other cultures, inspiration came from the East and the arts and cultures of Japan and China. Flowers and foliage were a recurring subject matter as were women, who were frequently depicted as the maiden and the femme fatale and with long following hair. Insects and the aquatic world also held much appeal.

WHAT ARE THE DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF ART DECO?

Art Deco can be seen as a development from Art Nouveau sharing a high regard for craftsmanship, beauty and good design. Instead of the organic forms of Art Nouveau, Art Deco celebrated luxurious materials with polished, smooth, shiny and reflective surfaces while its streamlined forms spoke of movement, industry and progressive modernity. Art Deco drew on the geometry of Cubism, the bold colours of Fauvism, the dynamism of Futurism and the costumes of the Ballet Russe as well as contemporary life more broadly. There was a fascination with exoticism and a celebration of life, perhaps as a reaction to the past horrors of war and the influenza pandemic that followed. In terms of other cultures Art Deco looked to the earlier civilisations of Egypt and South America and at the exotic from Africa.

ALPHONSE MUCHA (1860-1939)

Alphonse Mucha is universally acclaimed as one of the most significant Art Nouveau artists. Whilst best remembered for his posters - of elongated women with hair falling in intertwining arabesques, wearing long dresses, and embellished with flowering foliage - he was also a book illustrator, interior designer, sculptor, jewellery designer, and theatre set creator.

Born in Morovia, Alphonse Mucha studied at the Fine Art Academy in Munich before arriving in Paris in 1887. He was tutored at the Académie Julian by Jules-Joseph LeFebvre and Paul Laurens. His Parisian circle of friends included Paul Gaugin, Paul Sérusier and Les Nabis artists, August Rodin and the composer Frederick Delius.

He gained employment with printers and editors working as an illustrator. It was on New Year’s Day 1895 that his poster Gismonda (1894) first appeared and heralded his career breakthrough. The actress Sarah Bernhardt was depicted in embroidered garments with a floral headpiece, standing in front of mosaic tiling, an arch and cross behind her head and holding a palm branch that elevated her to saintly status.

1895 was also the year that Mucha signed a six-year contract with Sarah Bernhardt to design stage sets, costumes and posters for her business, and signed an exclusive contract with the printer F. Champenois.

In 1897 he had his first solo exhibition at the Salon des Cent which showed the works of avant-garde artists and the following year he exhibited at the first Vienna Secession exhibition.

His spiritual journey was influenced by his friends the Swedish philosopher August Stringberg and the mystic and occultist Albert de Rochas and manifest itself more clearly when his Le Pater published in 1899. He had become a Freemason the previous year and Le Pater, rather than reflecting the Catholic faith in which he was raised, represents his own personal philosophical vision. The depiction is a seven-stage progressive journey from darkness to universal truth and the Supreme Being.

Mucha’s contribution at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris was significant enough to earn him the accolade of Legion d’honneur, which he received the following year.

From the turn of the Century, he worked for his friend, the jeweller, Georges Fouquet, as well as in New York. However his attention increasingly turned to his native land, and he returned to Bohemia in 1910. From 1911 he worked in Prague on his Slav Epic a philosophical series that portrayed both his vision for his nation and his values. His life ended a few months after the German invasion of Prague in 1939.

Cinos produced five Mucha postcards, with four of them featuring Sarah Bernhardt, and the fifth being for Waverley Cycles. This present lot therefore comprises a complete set of the Sarah Bernhardt designs by Mucha. Other Cinos postcards featured other artist’s work and it is believed that the range illustrated a total of 36 different works.

Provenance: Ferdinand Champenois thence by descent

Ferdinand Champenois founded a printing company in Paris in 1859 and, between 1880 and 1920, it was one of the main lithographic printing firms. Alphonse Mucha worked for him when he arrived from Austria. Champenois produced advertising posts for clients such as Moët & Chandon champagne, Huntley & Palmer biscuits and Job cigarettes. However, he is perhaps best known for the works by Mucha featuring the actress Sarah Bernhardt.

In a rapidly evolving 19th-century Paris, advances in printing and a vibrant artistic culture transformed posters from simple advertisements into collectible works of art that decorated the city streets and appealed to a growing middle-class audience. Regarded as the “father of the modern poster”, Jules Chéret was central to this change.

After gaining recognition through work for perfume manufacturer Eugène Rimmel, he founded the publishing company Atelier Chéret in 1866 where he championed lithography as the future

of commercial printing. He would later go on to sell this to the prominent French printing and publishing company Imprimerie Chaix in 1881, famously located at 20 Rue Bergère.

His posters were known for their vivid colours, dynamic movement, and expressive figures. He created advertisements for theatres, music halls and cabarets, including land-mark venues such as the Folies Bergère and the Moulin Rouge. His images helped define the spirit of the Belle Époque across Paris, elevating urban advertising into an artistic medium across the city and beyond.

GEORGES FLAMAND (1895-1925 / 1931?)

(there is some uncertainty as to the date of his death which is listed as 1925 and 1931)

The sculptor Georges Flamand was a student of Alexandre Falguière, who was a professor at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris from 1882. Falguière gained notoriety when in 1898 he won the commission for the Monument to Balzac against Auguste Rodin. Flamand’s work is characterised by female subjects. He often focussed on their heads and long flowing hair, sometimes incorporating them into functional pieces such as trays and dishes, mirrors and handles. His Art Nouveau maidens on occasion reference mythology or have an underlying Symbolist sentiment as sensual beguiling femme fatales. He was also an exponent of mixed media embellishing his pieces with cabochons and enamel.

Dominique Zumbo was trained by his potter father who moved his family from Sicily to France in 1879. Dominique worked for Clément Massier helping him to create lustre glazes, before in 1892 setting up his own studio in Arènes, near the Roman arena Fréjus (Var). He exhibited at the Turin exhibition of 1898 where he won gold and silver medals. Zumbo collaborated with Jean Carriès as well as Rupert Carabin. This current vase has much in common with the work of Carabin with the fluid form of the figure being incorporated into a vessel.

La Maison Moderne was located at 82 rue des Petits-Champs, Paris, France and existed between 1898 and 1903. Founded by Julius Meier-Graefe (1867-1935) it promoted works in the Art Nouveau style for domestic consumption just as Siegfried Bing’s Maison de L’Art Nouveau did which had opened three years earlier.

Besides being a celebrated French actress, Sarah Bernhardt is remembered as an Art Nouveau beauty.

She initially studied acting at the Conservatoire in Paris, but left to work with the Comédie-Française, before then moving to the Théâtre du Gymnase Dramatique. She travelled to Brussels where she became the mistress of Henri, the Belgian prince of Ligne and gave birth to a son Maurice on her returned to Paris. It was during her six years at the Théâtre de l’Odéon that she really came into stardom. She toured to London and later to the United States. Despite a leg being amputated in 1915, as the result of a past injury, she continued to work.

Much of her acting was against rich stage scenery in plays that involved great drama and exaggerated physical movement. She was particularly acclaimed for her voice, the poses she achieved and her expressive gestures.

MARIUS MARS-VALLETT (1869-1957)

TWIN-BRANCH FIGURAL CANDELABRA designed circa 1900 patinated bronze signed in cast Mars. Vallet

35.5cm high

£1,000-1,500

Sarah Bernhardt on the cover of the Théodora Théâtre programme, circa 1902, by René Lalique. Sold - Lalique, Lyon & Turnbull, October 2023

She commissioned René Lalique to design jewellery for the various roles in which she starred, and Alphonse Mucha signed a six-year contract with her to design posters, stage sets and costumes. She championed the painter Georges Clairin, who painted her portrait. Jules Bastien-Lepage and Alfred Stevens depicted her too, while Marius Mars-Vallet sculpted her in her role as La Princess Lointaine and it is possible that this candelabra (lot 39) is a further portrayal of her. Famed for her exaggerated postures, she was often referred to as ‘the chrysalis’, as she emerged as a beauty after a tough start in life. The form of the candelabra is suggestive of an unfurling. The Chrysalide Planter (lot 40) by Paul-François Berthoud is a clear reference to Bernhardt whom he depicted on a number of other occasions.

PAUL-FRANÇOIS BERTHOUD (1870-1939)

CHRYSALIDE PLANTER

designed 1902 bronze, copper plating, with tin liner signed in cast Berthaud, inscribed SALON DE 1902, founders mark J.H.F. Fondeur. Paris

COPYRIGHT BY BERTHAUD 1902, bears plaque verso inscribed HERRN LUDWIG METZL ZUM 25-JAHRIGE JUBILAUM DIE St. Petersburger Zeitung SEPTEMBER 1903. 44.2cm high

Duncan, A., The Paris Salons 1895-1914, Volume V: Objets D’ Art & Metalware, Woodbridge, 1999, p. 86 (similar example illustrated)

The plaque on this planter presumably commemorates a gift to or from Mr Ludwig Metzl, on the 25th anniversary of his involvement with the St. Petersburgische Zeitung, a German-language newspaper published in Saint Petersburg in the Russian Empire from 1727 until its closure in 1915.

£3,000-5,000

Metzl (1854–1942) was born in Prague and became a prominent advertising entrepreneur and publisher in the Russian Empire. In 1878, he and his brother Ernst founded L. Metzl & Co. in St. Petersburg, building it into an advertising network that controlled much of the Russian newspaper advertising market and operated internationally. Metzl also published business journals and the literary magazine Epocha. After Ernst’s death in 1900, Ludwig expanded the company further before losing much of his business during the antiGerman unrest and the Russian Revolution. He later settled in Paris, where he died in 1942.

£500-700

In 1896 Joseph Mougin began studying sculpture at the École des Beaux Arts, in Paris, under the sculptor Louis Ernest Barrias. However, after experimenting with ceramics, he abandoned his studies and with his brother Pierre focussed on ceramics. Together they exhibited at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900. During the following year, Joseph spent time with his friend Ernest Baudin, a director at Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres and met Georges Vogt. Clearly, he was eager to learn, and his other mentors include Henri Bergé, Louis Castex, Louis Majorelle, and Pierre Roche. Nancy was his birthplace and in 1904 he collaborated with friends there at Société Lorraine des Amis Arts, including Alfred Finot, Victor Prouvé and Ernest Wittman. Perhaps inspired by this, he moved back to Nancy in 1905. Between 1923-1933 he worked with Keller & Guerin at Lunéville and in 1925 won a Grand Prix at the Paris Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes. Much of his ceramic work is either stoneware, often with a crystalline glaze, or porcelain.

Designed in 1924, the Passiflore chandelier is one of two spherical lights René Lalique composed from multiple glass elements; the other being the Boule De Gui designed in 1922. They were perhaps intended to represent the seasons summer and winter based on their distinctively seasonal subject matters of summer passion flowers and winter mistletoe.

The Boule De Gui comprises two spherical caps at the top and bottom with sectional wedge form panels between. It is surface moulded in relief with mistletoe leaves and berries. In contrast the decoration on the Passiflore lights is in much higher relief with the stamens protruding from the concave corona of filaments. The passionflower genus typically has a pentamerous flower consisting of exactly five petals and five sepals and it is therefore in keeping that these Passiflore lights are composed of pentagonal elements forming

a spherical regular dodecahedron. If the surfaces of the pentagonal pieces had been flat, it would be a Platonic solid. The Greek philosopher Plato spoke of five regular polyhedra - the tetrahedron, the hexahedron (or cube), the octahedron, the dodecahedron and the icosahedron. Lalique follows in the tradition of creatives such as Leonardo da Vinci, Piero della Francesca and Albrecht Dürer who all showed a keen interested in mathematical forms in their work. In 1900 Max Brückner published Polygons and polyhedra: Theory and History, in Leipzig. It can only be speculation as to whether Lalique knew this work or not.

Passionflowers have a long and diverse cultural history. In Christianity they have become associated with the passion of Christ. The corona representing the crown of thorns, the ten petals and sepals the faithful disciples, the another the wounds, the stigmas the nails and the tendrils the scourging. Lalique may have been aware of the Victorian understanding of flowers symbolising faith and devotion and the Japanese view of them representing a clock-face.

Born in Bordeaux in 1882, and initially trained as an academic painter, from the 1920s onwards Jean Dupas worked as a creative painter-decorator, producing diverse works ranging from grand scale murals and panels, to posters and other commercial designs.

Despite his varied artistic interests, Dupas’ style remained distinct and immediately recognisable throughout his career, his work characterised by unique scenes set in dreamscape surroundings and figures always statuesque and elegant in appearance, with gracefully elongated necks and fashionably stylised looks.

Jean Dupas created two decorative poster panels for the London Underground in 1930; Thence to Hyde Park and Where is this Bower Beside the Silver Thames. Arguably some of his best graphic work, the panels promoted the charms of London life, and specifically the leisure destinations that the Underground brought into easy reach.

Jean Dupas is today considered among the greatest artists of the Art Deco movement.

A. BEFORE THE SALE

A1.

DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS

Whilst we seek to describe Lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each Lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a Lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or Estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the Auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the Lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the Lot. All dimensions and weights are approximate only.

A2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS

We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below.

(a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way.

(b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon.

(c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred.

A3. WITHDRAWAL

Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw.

A4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS

(a) Jewellery:

(i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future.

(ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report

if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report.

(iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.

(iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

(b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys.

(c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given.

(d) Books-Collation: If on collation

any named item in the sale Catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the Lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the Catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of Lots sold for less than £300.

(e) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

(f) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

THE BUYER’S PREMIUM, TAXES AND ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY

D1. THE PURCHASE PRICE

For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 27% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £20,000, plus 26% from £20,001 to £800,000, plus 20% from £800,001 thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer’s Premium. No VAT is payable on the Hammer Price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction.

Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above.

D2. VALUE ADDED TAX

Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant Lots.

(a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme.

(b) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

(c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the European Union and do not fall within the

reduced rate category outlined above.

D3. ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (DROIT DE SUITE)

This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than £1,000. The charge for works of art sold at and above £1,000 and below £50,000 is 4%. For items selling above £50,000, charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.

the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the Lot the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the Lot by the original purchaser.

(c) There has been no material loss in value of the Lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading.

(b) return the Lot to our registered office in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the Lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale.

We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We may require the original purchaser of the Lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of Lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the Lot. We shall not be bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the Lot, and Reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense.
