Art Nouveau majolica jardinière from Lunéville, France, dating to c.1850–1900.
Description from the seller
Grande Jardinière Art Nouveau – Saint-Clément, France
Hand-painted majolica – Pre-fusion period before 1920
Masterpiece from the Saint-Clément manufactory, this exceptional Art Nouveau jardinière stands out for its organic elegance and finely detailed naturalist decoration. Made of majolica and entirely hand-painted, it features a lush array of relief-patterned pansies and foliage, rendered in deep shades of Bordeaux, tender green, and bright yellow. The interior, glazed in a satin pink, adds a delicate and refined touch to the overall piece.
Dated from the period before the merger of Saint-Clément with Keller & Guérin (prior to the 1920s), this piece testifies to the traditional craftsmanship of the manufacturer when it still produced artistic majolicas with sculptural forms typical of Art Nouveau. The two curved handles naturally extend the vegetal lines, while the four flared feet ensure a harmonious and fluid silhouette.
On the reverse, the inscriptions 'painted with love – Saint Clément France,' as well as the Saint-Clément brand in relief, confirm the authenticity and artisanal quality of this period creation.
Dimensions :
Length: 42 cm
Height: 18 cm
Width: 21 cm
With its abundant decoration, subtle palette, and perfect condition, this large jardinière is a remarkable collectible piece, ideal for Art Nouveau enthusiasts and connoisseurs of prestigious French faience. If you wish, I can also provide an estimate of its value for the current market.
