gustave serrurier-bovy
Gustave Serrurier-Bovy (Liege, 1858-1910) Art Nouveau clock, circa 1907 Massive African padauk, polished brass fittings, glass dial H 70.5 x W 37 x D 26 cm Provenance: private collection, Rotterdam Literature: Jacques Grégoire Watelet, Gustave Serrurier-Bovy de l’art nouveau à l’art déco, Brussels 1987, Modellvariante S. 99; François & Etienne Bigot, Dumesnil Dubuisson, Serrurier Bovy un créateur précurseur, Faton, Saint Etienne 2008, Modellvariante p. 83 Gustave Serrurier-Bovy, a Belgian designer and architect, was one of the pioneers of Art Novueau. His work was strongly influenced by the British Arts and Crafts Movement, with which he came into contact during a visit to London in 1884. Serrurier-Bovy, who was already forty years old at the time, was fascinated with the strict, clear elements of this period of art, which inspired his subsequent designs enormously. Several revolutionary concepts followed, which were received extremely well in Europe among his contemporaries. Today, designs by Serrurier-Bovy can be found in major museums around the world – including the Museé d'Orsay in Paris, the Art & History Museum in Brussels, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This clock shows great parallels to objects of the British Arts and Crafts movement. In particular, the columnar struts of brass and the wedges on the side look like architectural elements. The dark African padauk wood is skillfully interrupted by the golden brass plate with inset glass tiles by Loetz. The centerpiece is crowned by four cut-out squares in a brass plaque. An iconic design from around 1905, this clock is an impressive piece of art from the period. The clock has a quarter hour strike with a full 'Westminster' strike every hour. The movement has been overhauled and is fully functional. A key is enclosed.

The two lateral handles representing the tails of the lion are cushioned on the body by the lower legs of the animal H 28.8 cm (the bucket), Ø 24.6 cm (the cup) - Weight: 6.200 gr. the whole Provenance: part of the service made between 1779 and 1782 for Albert de Saxe-Teschen, governor general of the Netherlands, for the use of the Schonenberg castle, now the castle of Laeken in Brussels Literature: E.W. Braun, Das Tafelsilber des Herzogs Albert Von Sachsen-Teschen, Vienna, 1910 Born in 1738, Albert-Casimir was the son of the King of Poland and the Elector of Saxony, Frederick-Augustus II. In 1766, he married Archduchess Maria Christina, the daughter of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria. Appointed Duke of Saxe-Teschen, he successively received the governments of Hungary and the Austrian Netherlands. In 1910, His Imperial Highness Archduke Frederick organised an exhibition in Vienna where the cooler was inventoried as a series of 'eight champagne buckets.' In 1947, the service was dispersed at the Fischer Gallery sale. This service remains the only example of Viennese silverware from the second half of the 18th century that was spared from the ravages of the Napoleonic wars.
