A Rare Pair of Candelabras in "Fat Lava", by Marius Giuge Vallauris - 1960s
By Marius Giuge
Located in MOUGINS, FR
This pair of 37 cm high three-light candelabras features scrolls at the top and base of the shaft, constructed directly as a base in a "water foam" design.
The white color of these models is dotted with black alveoli that contrast with the clear enamel. The technique used to achieve this effect was to add chemical compounds to the enamel. Depending on the chosen dosage, this created variations in the size and depth of the craters.
This decoration, invented by Marius Giuge, inspired the "Fat Lava" ceramics, very popular in Germany in the late 1960s and 1970s.
An iconic example of Marius Giuge's production in the 1960s and 1970s, the pair is signed 3 times under each piece: MARIUS GIUGE – VALLAURIS...

Space Age Table Lamp in Chromed Metal att. to Gaetano Sciolari (1927-1994)
By Gaetano Sciolari
Located in MOUGINS, FR
Large "Space Age" style table lamp by Gaetano Sciolari in chromed metal.
The lamp is on a mirrored chromed metal base, with 6 chromed metal spikes with bronze tops around a central shaft, giving the lamp a very elegant silhouette.
It is equipped with its original lampshade (some signs of use - see photos).
A typical creation by Sciolari in the 1970s - 1980s, this lamp is in excellent condition with particularly well-preserved chromed walls.
The electrification is original and has been revised.
Dimensions:
Total height 75 cm, height excluding lampshade 44 cm, base diameter 17 cm.
Lampshade 37.5 cm by 30 cm in diameter.
Gaetano Sciolari (1927 – 1994) is a designer, architect and above all an outstanding businessman, born in Italy in 1927. After graduating from the Faculty of Architecture, the young man returned to his first passion, cinema, and in particular filmmaking.
However, after the death of his father in 1949, Sciolari had no choice but to take over the family lighting production business. In just a few years, the designer transformed the company and propelled it onto the international scene.
Sciolari was not only a brilliant business leader, he was also a creative, prolific and talented designer. He worked for the great names of design like Stilnovo in Italy in the 1950s, Boulanger and Stilkronen.
Throughout his career, he designed beautiful and incredible lighting fixtures like the “Mod A5011” pendant (circa 1950), the “4079” floor lamp (1965) and of course the Cubic chandelier (1970s).
His creations are shaped in both shiny and matte metal, multi-lights, evoking futuristic visions of the emerging space age. In the 70s and 80s, his creations are in high demand.

Three Large Pieces of American Diplomatic Porcelain "Fitzhugh 1815" with Eagle
Located in MOUGINS, FR
Three rare pieces of "Fitzhugh" decorated porcelain, probably from the early 20th century, marked "1815" on their base and bearing the American eagle and the "E PLURIBUS UNUM".
Similar models are in the White House and have been used as diplomatic gifts and in the Embassies of the United States of America.
Provenance: This set comes from the Domaine de Beaumont in Valbonne, built in the 1920s for the Carr family, and in which the Kennedys spent several summers when JFK's father was Ambassador in London (1938-1940) and after the war.
Dimensions:
Rectangular box: Length 21cm, Depth 10.5cm, Height 10cm
Covered vase: Height 27cm, Diameter 26cm
Round box: Height 12cm, Diameter 22cm.
These three pieces are "decorated with a pattern called 'Fitzhugh,' which refers to a group of Chinese export porcelain with certain identifying characteristics, made between about 1780 and 1840.
The decorative elements in this group include a central device—a medallion, an eagle, a monogram, or a coat of arms—surrounded by four clusters of flowers and emblems associated with the four achievements of the Chinese scholar: music, painting, analytical ability, and calligraphy.
The whole is surrounded by an elaborate border, either a lattice and spearhead border, often called 'Nanking,' or an intricate design of butterflies, cellular layers, and floral motifs.
Some examples that fall into this group, such as George Washington's Cincinnati porcelain, do not feature the four floral and emblem groups. The clusters and borders may be painted in blue, brown, orange, green, yellow, pink, lavender, gold, black, or gray. Fitzhugh patterns appear to have been more popular with Americans than with the English, reflecting the rise of American merchants at the time.
Consequently, there is more variation in Fitzhugh china...
