Lot 1329:
Description
This lot comprises two framed prints, each presented in a matching ornate gilded wooden frame with a white mat. Both pieces are detailed reproductions of decorative arts designs.
The first print, attributed « Salvat d’après Moreau, » depicts two highly decorative armchairs with ornate, openwork backrests and red upholstered seats, rendered in muted greens, golds, and reds. The accompanying visible text identifies the subject as a « Fauteuil en bois sculpté et doré, 1780 » (Carved and gilded wooden armchair, 1780).
The second print, attributed « Médaillier d’après Moreau, » illustrates a highly elaborate decorative plate or charger and a matching ewer or pitcher, both richly adorned with classical figural and scrolling motifs, rendered in monochrome. The visible text beneath states « Plat et Aiguière. Or et argent, 1800 » (Plate and Ewer. Gold and silver, 1800).
Both prints bear the provenance « Formerly Sir Louis Mallet, K.C.M.G. »
