Gabriel Viardot (1830-1906) career began as a wood carver and he produced small furniture, sculpturally carved with naturalistic motifs and animals. In the 1855 Exposition Universelle in Paris, his finely sculpted objects were well received. However, with the increasing importation of similarly produced Swiss and German articles, he found less opportunity for these and decided to inovate. G. Viardot succeded to his father’s business in 1861 installed rue Rambuteau in Paris. Around 1870 he turned to the idea of producing « Meubles genre Chinois et Japonais ». The taste in Europe for exotic furniture, incorporating sometimes authentic Chinese or Japanese objects was well established. But Viardot early designed his own models enriched with ivory, mother-of-pearl and beautiful gilt-bronze mounts. After having won four medals at the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1867, Viardot was awarded a silver medal at the 1878 Universal Exhibition in Paris. He was also awarded gold medals several times : Universal Exhibitions in Anvers (Belgium) in 1884, and again in Paris in 1889 and 1900.

The desk has the key. The cabinet has the key. The cabinet needs refinishing. The bed needs to be reworked. Exhibits wear consistent with age and use. The bed has crossbeams. Measurements: 91 x 41,5 x 42 cm (chairs); 80 x 60 x 38 cm (side table); 102 x 88 x 54 cm (desk); 215 x 165 x 70 cm (cabinet); 155 x 160 cm (bed). This set designed by Gabriel Viardot in Art Nouveau period consists of: -Desk table designed by Gabriel Viardot, faithful to the original orientalist models of the renowned French cabinetmaker. The crests decorating the corners of the legs and the upper gallery, as well as the bronze dragon perched on one side of the top are freely reinterpreted chinoisseries. The balled claw feet are combined with mixtilinear carving outlining the supports with scrolls. Floral bouquets are worked in relief at waist level, where a drawer is housed. The top is chiseled with a vegetal composition of Japanese influence. It has an auxiliary body as a small cabinet with a drawer for pens and stationery, topped with a gallery with trilobed motifs. -Cabinet designed by Gabirel Viardot in the Art Nouveau period. As usual in his work, the French cabinetmaker was inspired by Chinoiserie motifs and Japanese elements, sifting these references through his particular vision of Art Nouveau furniture. The cabinet shown here has a main body with a mirrored door, decorated with cresting in one of its corners and finished with geometric fretwork of Chinese inspiration. The soffits of the adjacent cabinet feature Japanese-inspired floral motifs carved in relief, and one of them includes mother-of-pearl inlay. A small decorative metal sculpture depicts a stork on a turtle shell, both animals being symbols of longevity in Asian culture. Elements of fine cresting complete the decoration. - The headboard and footboard of the double bed designed by Gabriel Viardot display the characteristic attributes of the orientalist style of the author, who freely reinterpreted Chinese and Japanese motifs, developing his work within the Art Nouveau movement. Thus, two finely carved Fu Dogs stand on their hind legs, flanking the headboard, whose panels depict flowers in bas-relief and the head of a dragon housed in a tondo. Japanese-influenced flowers alternating with moldings and geometric fretwork also predominate on the headboard, which has a pagoda-inspired top. - Pair of chairs designed by French cabinetmaker Gabriel Viardot in the Art Nouveau period. True to his unique style, based on the influence of chinoiserie mixed with his particular modernist style, dragon sculptures crown the backs, which have an openwork design with vegetal tracery, which in turn harmonizes with the cresting of the front legs. The front legs are cambered in cabriole, ending with claw feet, while the rear legs are sabre-shaped. - Side table designed by French cabinetmaker Gabriel Viardot. With a light structure, it houses between its legs spaces with cupboard and drawer by means of a distribution of hollows and fillings that breaks the classic symmetry, while including chinoiseries by means of floral inlaid work using bone. The cresting motifs and scrolled sides also clearly evoke Chinese motifs. It responds to a design akin to contemporary modernism but imbued with orientalist echoes that Viardot freely reinterprets. The piece of furniture stands on balled claw feet.

If you are tax-exempt, you can submit your tax-exempt certificate to prevent the collection of tax. || a) Out of state taxes: As a result of recent and ongoing legislation, most U.S. states now require businesses to collect and remit sales tax on online purchases made from their states.

All rug dimensions are approximate. b) Jewelry: Regarding jewelry, all weights, grades, sizes, and metal content(s) are approximate. c) Clocks and Watches: Due to their delicate nature, all clocks and watches are sold as not working even though they may be working. d) Antiques: Antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be noted in the description. e) Artwork: Because artwork is known to be copied from pre-existing examples, the dating of such objects is often difficult to ascertain and opinions vary from expert to expert. Due to this, RBFineArts CFL Inc strongly suggests all potential bidders or a representative to meticulously inspect any and all items prior to bidding. Any reference to a specific time period and/or culture are only the opinion of RBFineArts CFL Inc and are not a guarantee of authenticity.

Further, RBFineArts CFL Inc reserves the right to hold you liable for reimbursement for any expenses incurred because of any damage or injury.

It is possible that an item could go to another bidder for the same amount as your absentee bid. For example, if your maximum Internet bid on an item is $325.00 and the required opening bid is $300.00, the Internet auction software will only bid $300.00 since that is all that is required to start the Auction. The Auction begins with you at $300.00. The next increment would be $325.00, if no one else bids you will be declared the winner. If a live auction bidder bids $325.00, they are at $325.00, not you.

Occasionally, the bidding software or your internet connection may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction or the floor may respond before the internet bid is presented to the auctioneer. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid for the live Internet auction before the auction begins as insurance to avoid this. Occasionally, the Auctioneer may eliminate or reject an Internet bid, or the auctioneer may reopen a lot after the close of the live internet bidding. In this case, we may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via the internet, you agree that RBFineArts CFL Inc. may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances.

Attributed to GABRIEL VIARDOT (Paris, 1830-1906). Pair of oriental dragons, ca. 1900. In carved wood. Measurements: 50 x 9 x 9 cm. Pair of expressive carvings in the form of mythological dragons. They respond to a design that coincides with the zoomorphic frames of mirrors that Gabriel Viardot made in numerous occasions. It also presents a style similar to that of other sculptures that decorated the furniture of this cabinetmaker, known for his reinterpretations of Asian iconography. Gabriel Viardot was a cabinetmaker who specialized in the production of furniture of the "Chinese-Japanese genre". He began his career as a wood sculptor in 1849, when he sent some pieces of naturalistic decorative furniture to the horticultural exhibition. He then became the head of a small team of sculptors when he was only 19 years old. In 1853, he had a factory and a furniture store located in Rambuteau. At this time, Gabriel Viardot worked with his brother Louis Gustave under the name "Viardot Brothers and Co." In 1860, he opened his own workshop, "G. Viardot "in Grand-Chantier, a family business that he maintained until 1872. He decided to devote himself to "Chinese-Japanese style furniture", which he was able to see predominantly at the 1867 World's Fair. At this same exhibition, Viardot won four medals. It is with this production that he was awarded a silver medal at the 1878 World's Fair. His furniture was produced thanks to lacquered and carved panels sent directly from China or Japan and decorated with mother-of-pearl inlays from Tonkin. Of the bronze ornaments he made all the designs by hand. Over the years, his success continued to grow, especially at the Nice exhibitions and the eighth exhibition of the Central Union of Decorative Arts in 1884. In 1885, it participated in the Antwerp World Exhibition, where it won a gold medal. At this time, the store employed 90 to 100 workers, sculptors or cabinetmakers. After this exhibition, Viardot was promoted to the rank of Chevalier in the Legion of Honor (December 29, 1885). In 1889, he participated in the World Exhibition held in Paris and received a gold medal. He obtained the same award at the 1900 World's Fair.

GABRIEL VIARDOT (Paris, 1830-1906). Vitrine, ca.1890. In stained beech wood and bronze. Measurements: 192 x 110 x 40 cm. Cabinet-display cabinet designed by the French cabinetmaker Gabriel Viardot. It alternates spaces with cupboard in its light structure, by means of a distribution of hollows and fillings that breaks the classical symmetry at the same time that it is inspired by chinoiseries with the bronze dragons and the crests that decorate each shelf. It is a design akin to contemporary modernism but imbued with Orientalist echoes which Viardot freely reinterprets. He used pagoda architecture as a reference point for the eaves ridge. The openwork tracery motif is repeated in the corners of the shelves. Gabriel Viardot was a cabinetmaker specialising in the production of furniture of the "Chinese-Japanese genre".

Künstlerinfo: Gabriel Viardot ist vor allem für seine unverwechselbaren orientalischen Möbel bekannt, nachdem Viardot 1861 Inhaber seines Familienunternehmens geworden war, zogen Viardot Fréres et Cie an verschiedene Adressen in Paris, bevor sie sich 1878 in der Rue Amelot 36 niederließen, wo sie bis zur Jahrhundertwende blieben. Der Stil von Viardot war von japanischen Vorbildern beeinflusst, wurde aber vor allem durch die große Menge an Dekorationsartikeln inspiriert, die aus China und Hanoi, der Kolonie Französisch-Indochina nach Paris importiert wurden. Auf der Pariser Weltausstellung 1867 wurde er mit vier Medaillen ausgezeichnet, auf der Weltausstellung 1878 erhielt er eine Silbermedaille. Sein größter Erfolg war die Teilnahme an der Pariser Weltausstellung von 1889, wo die Firma mit einer Goldmedaille ausgezeichnet wurde. Quelle: Internet.

Viardot's style was influenced by Japanese models, but was mainly inspired by the large amount of decorative items imported to Paris from China and Hanoi, the colony of French Indochina. He was awarded four medals at the 1867 Paris World's Fair and a silver medal at the 1878 World's Fair. Its greatest success was its participation in the Paris World's Fair of 1889, where the firm was awarded a gold medal. Source: Internet.
