About the Item

Measures : Tallest caryatid : Height 225 cm (88.6 in.) ; width 65 cm (25.6 in.) ; depth : 40 cm (15,7 in.) Two smaller caryatids : Height 183 cm (72 in.) ; width 55 cm (21.6 in.) ; depth : 21 cm (8,3 in.) An outstanding set of three monumental black marble and bronze caryatid planters in the Greek style attributed to G. Servant. All three are caryatid terms on pedestal: the tallest one is shaped as a Grecian woman with her antique drapery and gilt bronze ornaments, such as belt, necklace, headband and garlands, surmounted by an Ionic capital supporting a large planter adorned with foliage pattern and a vase in patinated and gilt bronze. Two smaller planters complete the set, using the same ornamental patterns: the Grecian head with necklace and garlands, the pedestal enriched with inlaid ears, and at the top, the planter adorned with foliage and rings, resting on an Ionic capital. These monumental caryatid planters might have been commissioned by a French collector for his Parisian Hôtel particulier. The style of the figures evocates the contemporaneous sculptures of the Opéra Garnier in Paris (c.1875), and the works Servant exhibited at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1878. Georges Emile Henri Servant (1828-circa 1890), who took over his father in 1855 at their foundry, rue Vieille-du-Temple, in Paris, specialized in the production of neo-Egyptian style clocks, very popular in France since 1860s, and also the making of Greek style decorative objects. He drew considerable attention to the high quality of his bronzes at the 1855 Paris Universal Exhibition and then at the 1862 London Exhibition. At this time Servant exported up to 40% of his production, principally to the United States. But his success came really at the 1867 Paris Universal Exhibition, where he was awarded a Gold Medal for his neo-Greek works. Servant was even awarded in 1874 the “Ordre national de la Légion d’Honneur”, France’s highest official mark of recognition. Servant participated once again successfully at the 1878 Paris Universal Exhibition, where he not only exhibited vases and small bronze pieces of furniture, but was also a member of the jury for the class of bronze pieces of art. He finally retired shortly before the 1889 Paris Universal Exhibition.

Pair of Neo-Greek Pedestals, attributed to G.Servant, France, Circa 1880

By Georges Emile Henri Servant

Located in PARIS, FR

Pair of patinated and gilded bronze turntable pedestals with for each of them, three paw feet, headed by stylized lion muzzles, ornated with beaded chains and joined by a fine foliate stretcher. The belt is adorned by a banded frieze cast in low-relief representing an ancient scene : “The Battle of the Lapithes and the Centaurs”.
