Rouen, Wyvern Platter "à la guivre", France 18th Century
Located in PARIS, FR
Superb Rouen wyvern platter ("à la Guivre"), 18th century France. Exquisite and rare museum quality piece. Decorations of a parrot carrying a branch, butterflies, an aquatic landscape and an Asian wyvern dragon.
These dragons are different from those found in European fairy tales and films. In China, they're in the arts, zodiac signs and festivals ("Dragon Dance" at Chinese New Year). They embody power, perseverance... Linked to the sky and water, they have meteorological powers, such as making it rain. So they often live in tumultuous rivers, at the bottom of oceans... hence the lake over which this dragon "flies". What's more, this earthenware dragon...

Gold Necklace with Amulet Box, 19th Century
Located in PARIS, FR
Stunning and rare Omani tribal necklace in gold and silver featuring eight Burgau thalers dated 1780 and a large amulet box (Hirz) also in gold and silver. 19th century.
Very good condition. Preserved and professionally framed.
Dimensions of the necklace: 52 x 30 x 3
Dimensions of the frame: 70 x 47 x 5
Secure shipping.
This fine Omani necklace of silver and gold comprises two strands of spiky, seed pod-like silver beads; gold-wrapped beads; eight silver Maria Theresa thaler coins; and a large silver and gold amulet box, with multiple chain tassels each of which finishes with a square-shaped pendant cut from sheet silver.
The cigar-shaped amulet box called hirz would have contained some Koranic verse or religious text.
Such a spectacular display of wealth would only have been worn at times of important festivities such as marriage celebrations.
Maria Theresa thalers were made in Austria since the reign of Empress Maria Theresa of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Empress died in 1780 and since that time, all thalers that were subsequently struck were minted with that date regardless of the actual year that they were produced. The coins achieved such a level of trust for their silver content (which is 83.3% silver) in the Middle East that neither the design not the date was varied, and so for more than 200 years the coins were used as an international currency among the tribes and the states of the Middle East, in much the same way as the Spanish dollar was used as an international currency at the time elsewhere. The thalers were used to complete most important transactions locally and were also given as dowries. They were also an important source of silver and were melted locally for jewellery.
The coins made their way to the ports of the Red Sea, Egypt and northern Africa from the ports of Genoa, Trieste, Livorno and Marseille. European traders used the coins to buy precious materials from the Gulf and northern Africa which it desired – commodities such as spices, coffee, gum Arabic, indigo, pearls, and tortoise shell.
The importance and the beauty of the coins saw them incorporated into local jewellery most particularly in Oman and Yemen.

Gustave Tiffoche is one of the great French stoneware artists of the late 20th century. He started his earthenware works at the age of 33.
"In 1961, Tiffoche made his first approach to pottery at Norbert Pierlot, in Ratilly. That year the gallery of the Castle exposes the great names of the ceramics world: Bernard Leach, Shoji Hamada, Raîja Tuumi, A.Cumella, Daniel de Montmollin, Georges Jouve, M. and Y. Mohy, Jean and Jacqueline Lerat, De Vinck. He met and became friends with several of them along the way.
Two years later, he set up his workshop in Guérande. He began to produce unique pieces in parallel with a production of utilitarian pieces and built his first wood-fired kiln in 1963.
In 1966, he participated for the first time in a ceramics exhibition at the Hôtel de Sens in Paris, then at the Maison de la Culture in Caen, "Les Potiers contemporains".
He organized his first personal exhibition of ceramics in 1968 at the "Michel Columb" gallery of Marie-Jo Marot in Nantes. On the walls, the paintings are of Gaston Chaissac. Exhibits came one after another afterwards, throughout France and abroad: Stuttgart in 1969, Montreal in 1970, Munich in 1971, Faienza in 1972, Dakar in 1984 and Sarrelouis in 1994. At the same time, regular exhibitions at the "convergence" gallery in Nantes allow the artist to continue his artistic evolution and questioning.
He created a monumental ceramic fountain for the IUT in Saint-Nazaire in 1981. Other monumental works in stoneware will follow in La Roche-sur-Yon, Niort, Melle, Rennes, Bouaye, IRESTE of Nantes.
Between 1970 and 1985, many young ceramists came to learn or perfect their Craft, or collaborated directly with him by working in his workshop. Among them, of note: Jorgen Hansen...
