Large bronze mortar with a flared shape; the body is decorated with a frieze of foliage scrolls, and the rim bears the inscriptions IE SVIS . FAICT . A LILLE . PAR . HVBERT . RENARD . 1652. Lille, workshop of Hubert Renard, 1652 H.: 27 cm (Chipped edges) Hubert Renard’s workshop—he himself came from a family that also distinguished itself in bell casting—is well known among Lille’s foundries. Hubert Renard’s work is recognizable by inscriptions identical to those on the object presented here, usually followed by a date. The earliest dated example of his work dates back to 1633, followed by three other mortars dated 1653–1664 and 1668. The owner’s name remains unknown. Source consulted: B. Bergbauer, G. Convert, P.
