A FRENCH ART DECO SILVER AND ALABASTER TABLE CENTREPIECE, MAURICE DAURAT, PARIS, CIRCA 1930 in three parts, the central alabaster vase of pedestal urn form, rectangular with canted corners, the stylised scroll handles fitted with electric downlights to the interior, with a further light to the base, affixed to a silver stepped socle, the flanking elongated rectangular silver dish holders with vertical ribs, each with an electroplate liner, 950 standard and maker"s marks 99cm long, 37cm high Provenance: Private European Collector, "The Seawolf Collection", Object No.151 and pp.173-175 op. cit. (see lot 532 for further details.) Maurice Daurat (1880-1960) is perhaps best known for his work in pewter. The existence of a drawing of this centrepiece design (Private Collection, illustrated in the Seawolf catalogue p.175), titled "Appareil d"Eclairage / Métal Argenté & Porcelaine Teintée" suggests the original intention was for a centrepiece of porcelain and electroplate. The electrically lit ensemble must have been designed between 1927-1931, the years Daurat lived at the address hand inscribed on the design ("32 Av. de Friedland"), although it is not known when the decision was taken to use the more luxurious materials of silver and alabaster.
