Paire de sellettes vénitiennes à figures, bois doré et polychromé

Chaque sellette est portée par une jeune figure sculptée, le visage et les bras peints en noir, coiffée d'un turban à carreaux, qui lève une grappe de raisin dorée et tient de l'autre main une petite coupe. Le buste, vêtu d'ocre et d'or, se fond dans une gaine de feuillages qui s'enroule autour du fût. Plus bas, bouquets peints et feuilles dorées mènent à un piétement tripode en volutes d'acanthe. Le plateau chantourné, bordé de godrons, répète la même alliance d'or usé et de fleurs peintes.

Venise a sa tradition du meuble à figures. Andrea Brustolon, de 1662 à 1732, en est le sculpteur le plus célèbre : il taille le noyer, le buis et l'ébène pour des meubles peuplés de figures. Au XIXe siècle, Valentino Panciera Besarel, de 1829 à 1902, ranime sa manière et produit dès les années 1860 des fauteuils dans son style. Ces deux noms disent une tradition, non une filiation : l'origine vénitienne de la paire, datée de la fin du XIXe siècle, est celle qu'avance le marchand, et aucun atelier n'est nommé.

Read in English

Each pedestal is carried by a carved young figure, face and arms painted black, wearing a checked turban, who raises a gilt bunch of grapes and holds a small cup in the other hand. The torso, dressed in ochre and gold, merges into a sheath of foliage that winds around the shaft. Lower down, painted sprays and gilt leaves lead to a tripod base of acanthus scrolls. The shaped top, edged with gadroons, repeats the same pairing of worn gold and painted flowers.

Venice has its own tradition of figural furniture. Andrea Brustolon, 1662 to 1732, is its most celebrated sculptor, carving walnut, boxwood and ebony into furniture peopled with figures. In the nineteenth century, Valentino Panciera Besarel, 1829 to 1902, revived his manner and from the 1860s made armchairs in his style. These two names speak of a tradition, not a lineage: the Venetian origin of the pair, dated to the late nineteenth century, is the one put forward by the dealer, and no workshop is named.
