About the Item
A pair of gilt-bronze, parquetry and marble pedestal by Alexandre Hugnet, Paris
French, Late 19th century
Measures: Height 122cm, width 43cm, depth 43cm
Made by the Parisian craftsman Alexandre Hugnet, son of the cabinet maker Ainé Hugnet, whom Alexandre succeeded at his Faubourg Saint Antoine atelier in 1880, these fine pieces were made towards the end of the nineteenth century. Hugnet is perhaps best known for winning a Silver Medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle, and worked predominantly in the Louis XVI style, though his style incorporated elements of other periods.
This fine pair of pedestals consists of marble tops, parquetry faces, and gilt-bronze mounts, in a bombe shape, with curving faces and short gilt feet. The decoration is expressive yet refined, combining Louis XV style with Louis XVI refinement. The faces feature a simple yet effective parquetry cross-hatched design, and the marble itself is a naturally pleasing pattern and colouration. A vibrant and elegant pair, they are bound to enliven and enrich any worthy interior space.

- Onyx, Marble, Gilt Bronze and Champlevé Enamel Pedestal ClockLocated in London, GBThis colorful pedestal clock has been crafted from fine red marble and green onyx, and beautifully decorated with gilt bronze (ormolu) and champlevé enamel. While a popular crafts material in ancient times, onyx was largely forgotten about until its rediscovery in the mid-19th century in Algeria by a French marble-worker called Delmonte. Onyx became highly fashionable in France following this discovery, and it was used to create a variety of decorative art objects. The clock features a green onyx cube-shaped case, which is surmounted by a slightly projecting red marble top. This top is fringed with champlevé enamel drapery-like motifs, with gilt bronze drop-finials. The case is mounted on its front with a circular dial, which features a central floral champlevé enamel motif, encircled by black Arabic Numerals. This dial is set within a gilt bronze egg-and-dart and champlevé enamel bezel. The sides of the case are mounted with circular gilt bronze barometers...Category
