Table basse au plateau églomisé, piétement doré à sphères ajourées

Le plateau semble retenir un ciel d'orage. Sous le verre, l'argent et l'or se mêlent en nuées mouchetées, plus sourdes vers les bords, et un filet doré les encadre. Dessous, le piétement change de registre avec deux sphères ajourées en côtes de melon, des volutes qui s'enroulent en palmettes au sol et une entretoise torsadée que ponctue une fleur de lys. Le métal doré, frotté par endroits, laisse paraître un fond brun qui réchauffe l'ensemble.

Le verre églomisé consiste à fixer sous le verre une feuille d'or ou d'argent, puis à y tracer le dessin à la pointe sèche. Son nom rappelle Jean-Baptiste Glomy, encadreur parisien du XVIIIe siècle, qui en fit la parure des cadres de gravures. La technique gagne ensuite le mobilier Art déco, et le grand décor de Jean Dupas pour le salon du paquebot Normandie en est un exemple. La galerie décrit ici un piétement de bronze et situe la table vers 1940, sans nommer d'atelier, et l'accord d'origine entre verre et piétement reste à établir.

The top seems to hold a stormy sky. Beneath the glass, silver and gold mingle in speckled clouds that grow duskier toward the edges, framed by a fine gilt fillet. Below, the base shifts register, with two openwork spheres ribbed like melons, scrolls that curl into palmettes on the floor and a twisted stretcher punctuated by a fleur-de-lys. The gilt metal, rubbed in places, lets a brown ground show through and warms the whole.

Verre églomisé means fixing a sheet of gold or silver beneath the glass, then drawing the design into it with a dry point. The name recalls Jean-Baptiste Glomy, an eighteenth-century Parisian frame-maker who made it the ornament of engraving frames. The technique later reached Art Deco furniture, and Jean Dupas's great decoration for the salon of the liner Normandie is one example. The gallery describes the base as bronze and places the table around 1940, naming no workshop, and whether glass and base belong together from the start remains to be established.
