A charming 19th-century oil on canvas depicting a lyrical scene of nymphs dancing in a clearing. This work is a quality reinterpretation of the celebrated composition by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, "Une matinée, la danse des nymphes" (1850). Far from being a simple copy, this cabinet painting offers a personal and luminous variant of the original masterpiece. The artist asserts his own sensibility with a more vivid palette in the draperies and a treatment of foliage in backlight of great poetry, typical of the influence of the Barbizon School. The light filtering through the canopy iridescent the round dance of the figures with remarkable mastery of the vaporous atmosphere. It is a work of great gentleness, testifying to the taste of the 19th-century aristocracy for mythological and pastoral themes. The work is in excellent state of preservation. Sound canvas, original stretcher. Frame in gilt wood and stucco with reeded decoration.

A splendid prestige jardinière in grand feu faience, from the workshops of the celebrated Touraine manufactory Jaget et Pinon (1890-1919 period). This masterpiece stands out for its decoration "with Eagles and Bees", the most noble and sought-after iconography of Touraine production.

Colour & Enamel: an enamel ground in Imperial green of rare depth, obtained by grand feu firing, offering a striking contrast with the gilding.

Ornamentation: rich fine-gold decoration composed of two confronted Imperial Eagles and a sprinkling of Napoleonic bees.

Side pieces: animated handles in relief figuring oak branches laden with acorns, emblems of strength and permanence, entirely enhanced with gold.

Frieze: neck girded with a frieze of Neoclassical scrollwork and palmettes on a dark green band.

Perfect state of preservation. Very brilliant enamel. Gilding showing slight signs of use on the reliefs consistent with its antiquity. Weight 6.700 kg.

An important rectangular mirror in carved and giltwood. This model stands out by a striking and richly worked pediment. At the summit, a dove with deployed wings, symbol of peace or love, is inscribed within a laurel wreath. It surmounts a central medallion adorned with two flaming hearts pierced by arrows, resting on a fluted base. Frieze of twisted ribbons and pearl frieze. The frame is flanked by broad foliage and laurel drops descending along the uprights. The lower section is adorned with two stylised volute consoles, allowing the mirror to rest elegantly on a chimneypiece or console.

Artistic elegance for this roe deer in cement patinated by time on its plinth. This unique piece of folk art dating from the 1960s offers a poetic atmosphere to your garden or interior.

A master ceramist of Sicilian origin established at Vallauris, Jean Gerbino perfected in 1930, after fifteen years of research, his unique terres mêlées technique: several clays coloured with oxides are assembled in blocks, thrown together on the wheel, then subjected to a double firing beneath a transparent glaze. The process was awarded the Grand Prix at the Concours Lépine in 1931.

This flower-holder sphere is distinguished by the exceptional quality of its execution. The palette is particularly rich and luminous — iron-red terracotta, soft celadon, slate blue, cream ivory, warm ochre and manganese brown — with a brilliant glaze that enlivens each colour and lends the whole an almost mineral depth. The upper body displays the polychrome diagonal chequerboard characteristic of the workshop, whilst the lower register is treated in sgraffito with Hispano-Moresque motifs — medallions with star-shaped rosettes on a cream ground, framed by green scrolling foliage. Nine apertures at the summit. Remarkable precision and mastery.

Signature “Gerbino Vallauris” incised beneath the base. France, circa 1950-1960

France, circa 1950-1960

A very fine rectangular teak coffee table, emblematic of 1960s Scandinavian design, produced by the renowned Danish manufacturer Trioh. This piece is distinguished by the elegance of its lines and the quality of its finish. It features an upper top with gently curved edges and a slatted lower shelf (magazine rack), offering functional storage whilst emphasising the airy graphic quality of the structure. The tapered legs, typical of Danish modernism, lend great visual lightness to the whole. The table bears the original stamp “Trioh — Made in Denmark” struck beneath the top, guaranteeing its authenticity and its value on the art market. Excellent state of preservation. The teak displays a deep, warm honey patina. The structure is perfectly stable.

A spectacular pair of Italian lamps in blown moulded Murano glass from the 1980s. The spheres display a deep plum hue, satin-finished on one half of the sphere and glossy and striated on the other. Circular brass bases. Cylindrical black and gold lampshades. Striking, graphic decorative pieces. May be sold individually at 950 euros per lamp.

Sommerso vase in Murano glass crafted according to the traditional technique of superimposing layers of molten glass, requiring complete mastery of hot working. This method achieves a depth of material and an optical density of particular note, hallmarks of the great Murano productions of the twentieth century. The smoked amethyst hue, encased within a thick mass of clear glass, creates a subtle interplay of transparency and depth. The design is accentuated by an architectural facetting with taut, crisp lines, lending the piece a pronounced sculptural presence. This vase belongs to the great tradition of formal experimentation pursued in Murano during the 1960s and 1970s, a period in which glass came to be regarded as a genuine material for architecture and sculpture, beyond its merely decorative function. Perfect condition. No chips or nibbles. Murano—Italy, twentieth century, circa 1960-1970

Sculptural gilt bronze candlestick by Georges Mathias for Fondica, characteristic of the organic and expressive work of the second half of the twentieth century. The piece is distinguished by a free vertical composition, evoking a stylised plant or coral form. The shaft unfolds in successive outgrowths with sinuous, dynamic lines, creating a particularly vibrant interplay of shadows and reliefs. The widely splayed tripod base ensures stability whilst prolonging this biomorphic aesthetic. The gilding presents a depth and brilliance that magnify the asperities of the bronze. It is a piece of character, at once primitive and extremely refined.

An elegant sculpted bronze candlestick with gilt patina, created by the artist and designer Pierre Casenove. This emblematic piece, characteristic of the artist’s poetic brutalist style, depicts a stylised bird with organic lines, its body soaring upward. The textured treatment is typical of Casenove: an animated surface that catches the light. The work bears witness to the aesthetic of the 1980s–1990s, fusing utilitarian object and animal sculpture. Signed on the base. France, 20th century

Five-branch stoneware candelabrum, an emblematic example of the Brutalist movement of the 1960s-70s. This piece is distinguished by its organic, sculptural appearance, evoking arborescent forms or primitive anthropomorphic figures.

The treatment of the material is remarkable: an earthy-toned glaze, ochre-brown, displaying a rough, scarified texture that catches the light. The circular base, pierced with almond-shaped openings, anchors the visual balance whilst reinforcing the architectural quality.

This work sits perfectly within the lineage of La Borne ceramics or the œuvre of artists such as Robert Deblander or the Accolay workshop in its most raw productions. It bears witness to the return to origins and to the hand of man typical of the second half of the twentieth century.

The base bears two felt-tip marks covering a signature “Calsat”.
