LILLIPUTIAN CAST IRON DESIGN FIREPLACE, ART DECO, PROVENANCE BOULOGNE.
Born in Sèvres as a production of artistic ceramics, the GENTIL & BOURDET “factory” soon became a reference point for all Art Nouveau decoration first and Art Deco later..
One of the advertisements of this incredible hothouse of ideas read, “Pottery, fires and mosaics”...
The very small cast-iron fireplace I am presenting to you was produced around the 1930s and is in excellent condition, so much so that even the refractory inside is that of origin.
A “PIECE” OF ART HISTORY, THE PRICE OF WHICH OFFENDS THE CREATIVITY AND COURAGE OF OUR ARTIST FRIENDS GENTIL AND BOURDET.
