Applique à deux lumières, urne dorée sur console de faux marbre

Une urne couverte, ceinte d'un masque et de guirlandes de perles, se dresse au centre ; de ses flancs partent deux bras à feuillages d'acanthe qui portent chacun une bobèche et une fausse bougie électrifiée. Sur la panse, la dorure usée laisse paraître un ton plus sombre. L'urne repose sur une tablette en marbre feint, vert très sombre moucheté de rouge et de clair, bordée d'une frise de lambrequins dorés, puis sur un cul-de-lampe feuillagé terminé par une graine. L'or chaud domine, rythmé par le sombre de la pierre simulée.

Feindre le marbre est un art de peintre décorateur, pratiqué dans la Rome antique puis ranimé à la Renaissance, à l'âge baroque et encore aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles. Le métier distingue plusieurs manières : le marbré, qui imite le porphyre, le chiqueté, qui évoque le granit, et le veiné, fait de veines et de taches. Ici, le bois peint tient lieu de pierre sous une monture de bronze et de laiton, dans une applique datée de la fin du XIXe siècle. Ni l'atelier ni le fabricant ne sont connus, et le pays d'origine n'est pas indiqué.

Read in English

A lidded urn, girdled by a mask and swags of beads, stands at the centre; from its sides spring two acanthus-leaf arms, each carrying a drip pan and an electrified faux candle. On the body of the urn, worn gilding lets a darker tone show through. The urn rests on a shelf of feigned marble, a very dark green flecked with red and pale points, edged with a frieze of gilt lambrequins, then on a leafy cul-de-lampe ending in a finial. Warm gold dominates, punctuated by the dark of the simulated stone.

Feigning marble is a decorative painter's art, practised in ancient Rome and revived in the Renaissance, in the Baroque age and again in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The trade distinguishes several manners: marbled, which imitates porphyry, chiqueté, which evokes granite, and veined, made of veins and spots. Here painted wood stands in for stone beneath a mount of bronze and brass, in a wall light dated to the late nineteenth century. Neither workshop nor maker is known, and the country of origin is not given.
