ATTRIBUTED TO EDOUARD LIÈVRE (1828-1886), AND FERDINAND BARBEDIENNE (1810-1892), PAIR OF VASES, CIRCA 1880 of scroll form in lacquered bamboo with sinister gold and silver hiramaki-e decoration, gilded bronze and patina; the body decorated, on one, with a weaver in front of his loom in a lively country village and, on the other, with a figure picking fruit from a tree in a lakeside village landscape, also animated.

A pair of vases, attributed to Édouard Lièvre and Ferdinand Barbedienne (1810-1892), circa 1880 Diam. 37 CM - D. 14,6 IN. HAUT. 56 CM - H. 22 IN. Born in Nancy in 1828, Édouard Lièvre trained as a painter with the French academic Thomas Couture, before devoting himself to decorative art drawing. Later, Édouard Lièvre designed for the great bronzemaker Ferdinand Barbedienne, with whom he collaborated for many years. Édouard Lièvre's important clients included actress Sarah Bernhardt, courtesan Louise-Émilie Valtesse de la Bigne and Albert Vieillard, director of the Bordeaux ceramics factory. After Lièvre's death, his estate was sold at two auctions in 1887 and 1890. It is thought that the bulk of the collection was sold to George and Henri Pannier, owners of the Escalier de Cristal house, giving rise to modified versions of the artist's drawings. There are, for example, seven variants of Albert Vieillard's Cabinet japonais, one of which was sold to Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia and is now in the Hermitage, St. Petersburg.
