新艺术风格 圣水洗礼盘 - 1900-1910 - 新艺术运动

一件精美的墙挂圣水盆，来自巴黎制造，属于新艺术运动时期（晚19世纪—20世纪初）。

它体现了 Belle Époque 时期法国工艺美术大师间的合作：
- 十字架上的两个浮雕饰章刻有法国大师雕刻家及铸币师 Roger Tairac 的签名，他以宗教题材的精致作品著称；
- 耶稣像与十字架上镶嵌着互锁字母“AF”的组合记号，可能归因于在巴黎设有工坊的尊贵匠人 Armand Frénais；耶稣像背面还另有一枚印记；
- 圣水盆上方刻有“AJ”的印记，很可能归属于知名的巴黎铸造工作室 Joly Frères，专门从事艺术金属工艺。

保存状态极好。

尺寸与材料：
- 外部十字架为黄铜，30.5 x 17.5 cm；
- 内部十字架为镀银黄铜，18.5 x 11.5 cm；

--------------------------

A refined wall-mounted holy water font of Parisian manufacture from the Art Nouveau period (late 19th – early 20th century).

It represents a collaboration between three masters of French artistic craftsmanship from the Belle Époque:
- two medallions on the cross bear the signature of the French master engraver and medalist Roger Tairac, known for his exquisite religious-themed works;
- the figure of Christ and the cross bear the interlocking monogram "AF," likely attributable to Armand Frénais, a prestigious craftsman with a workshop in Paris; an additional hallmark appears on the back of the figure of Christ;
- the holy water basin bears the hallmark "AJ," a mark likely attributable to the renowned Parisian workshop Joly Frères, specialists in artistic metalwork.

In excellent condition.
