Paire d'appliques en verre, présentées sous les noms d'Arbus et Véronèse

Chaque applique déploie deux grandes feuilles de verre incolore, recourbées et décalées, dont la surface se couvre d'un quadrillage de petites cellules en relief. La lumière s'y fragmente en une multitude de points brillants, puis se concentre au cœur de la courbe, là où les deux feuilles se chevauchent. Des tiges torsadées, elles aussi en verre, prolongent chaque feuille, serrées par des bagues cannelées dorées, et une platine de métal doré les fixe au mur. Présentées côte à côte, les deux appliques se répondent en miroir.

André Arbus, né à Toulouse en 1903 et mort en 1969, architecte, décorateur et sculpteur, s'installe à Paris en 1932 et devient fournisseur du Mobilier national à partir de 1946. Fondée en 1931, la maison Véronèse crée luminaires et miroirs avec les maîtres verriers de Murano ; le Concorde d'Arbus équipe en 1952 le paquebot Bretagne, et un antiquaire décrit des appliques Plume en verre moulé et laiton des années 1950. Les dates varient d'une source à l'autre, certaines remontant aux années 1930 et 1940 : la datation vers 1940 donnée par le marchand reste ouverte, comme l'attribution.

Each wall light unfolds two large leaves of colourless glass, curved and offset, their surface covered with a grid of small raised cells. Light breaks on them into a multitude of bright points, then gathers at the heart of the curve, where the two leaves overlap. Twisted rods, also of glass, extend each leaf, held by ribbed gilt collars, and a gilt metal backplate fixes them to the wall. Shown side by side, the two lights answer each other in mirror image.

André Arbus, born in Toulouse in 1903 and died in 1969, architect, decorator and sculptor, settled in Paris in 1932 and supplied the Mobilier national from 1946. Founded in 1931, the house of Véronèse creates lighting and mirrors with the master glassmakers of Murano; Arbus's Concorde fitted out the liner Bretagne in 1952, and one dealer describes Plume wall lights in moulded glass and brass from the 1950s. Dates vary from one source to another, some reaching back to the 1930s and 1940s: the dealer's dating to around 1940 remains open, as does the attribution.
