Description from the seller
Very beautiful and antique glazed faience lantern, signed by Antoine Montagnon, founder of the Manufacture de Montagnon in Nevers, following the takeover of the factory from the end of the world in 1875.
Caricature character decor, here of peasant sowers, as was commonly done at the time, set against a multicolored background.
There are other settings with musicians, politicians, and notable figures...
Signed on the base with ink from the 'green knot,' emblem of the Manufacture de Montagnon in Nevers, as well as the intertwined initials AM for Antoine Montagnon, directly from the artist's hand.
This type of signatures makes the lantern very rare because it is from the first period of Antoine Montagnon, dating between 1875 and 1899. The graphics of the emblem of the Manufacture and Antoine's signature changed after 1900, as did the bases of the pieces, which were then enamelled in white instead of being left in raw earth.
So, this is not a reissue during the period of Gabriel or Gérard Montagnon, his sons.
The signature has been authenticated by the Museum of Faience and Fine Arts of Nevers.
Excellent condition: no cracks, no hairline fractures, no missing parts, no restorations.
The photos are an integral part of the description.
Dimensions approximately in cm:
Width 14 cm (including the handles)
Diameter of the base 9.5 cm
Height 17 cm
Weight approximately 400 grams
Shipping:
Very careful and secure shipment from France with COLISSIMO, registered with acknowledgment of receipt, tracking, and insurance up to the purchase price, within 72 hours following payment.
Shipping time of 2 to 15 days depending on the destination country.
Attention: no shipments outside the EU (except Switzerland and Monaco).
The transportation cost takes into account the volume, weight, value for insurance, the fragility of the object, the use of a professional packing box, and the necessary internal padding (bubble wrap, packing chips...).
Please make sure to carefully check the contents of the package in the presence of the delivery person. Otherwise, if the contents are broken, the insurance may not cover the damages.
Buyers are responsible and must pay any applicable customs fees and taxes.
Returns are refused.
