Seltene Prunkschatulle Émile-Auguste Reiber (Entwurf), Christofle, Paris, um 1880 Quaderförmiger Korpus auf vier Füßchen. Rotbraun patinierter Fond mit vegetabil-floralen Auflagen, teils vergoldet und versilbert: Rollwerk, Maiglöckchenzweige, Rosenblüten, Fächerkartuschen und Blattwerk. Unterseite mit Wurmliniendekor. Schlüsselende in Form eines Rosenblütenkranzes. 9,3 x 18 x 10,5 cm Emile Reiber (1826 - 1893) stellte eine in der Machart vergleichbare Jardinière zusammen mit zwei Kandelabern auf der Weltausstellung 1878 in Paris aus. Die Orfèvrerie Christofle selbst ist ein französischer Hersteller von vornehmlich feinem Silberbesteck, aber auch von silbernen Bilderrahmen, Kristallvasen, Glaswaren, Porzellangeschirr und Silberschmuck. Das Unternehmen wurde 1830 gegründet. Christofle wurde wenige Jahre später Hoflieferant von Kaiser Napoleon III. Auf den Weltausstellungen in Paris 1867 und Wien 1873 stellte Christofle japanisch-inspirierte Silberwaren vor. 1883 stattete die Firma den Orient-Express mit Tafelsilber aus. Christofle is a French manufacturer of fine silver flatware and home accessories. They are renowned for their sterling, silverplate and stainless flatware. The origins of Christofle date to 1830. This overall design is reminiscent of 18th century Chinese table screens. It illustrates the significant Far Eastern influence on European decorative arts following the reopening of Japan to the West in 1854, and the restoration of Emperor Meiji in 1868. Subsequently, widespread interest in all things Asian was stimulated by Japanese displays at the International Exhibitions in London, 1862, in Paris, 1867, and in Philadelphia, 1876. In 1869, an Exhibition was held by the Union des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, where an entire museum of Oriental art was displayed. The Western hunger for this new taste is evident in a range of products, such as this lot, where romantic motifs and naturalism were combined with a mélange of styles to create an atmosphere, instead of simply attempting to produce accurate reproductions of Oriental articles. Designers and makers responded to the challenge of these new influences by studying forms and techniques of Asian decoration, and produced cloisonné enamel, marquetry of shell and ivory, patinated bronzes, and carved woods, all using the stylised vocabulary of the Far East. Makers such a Viardot, Lièvre, Giroux, L'Escalier de Cristal, Duvinage and Christofle, all conjured up images of the Orient in pieces of the utmost refinement and quality. Photographs of Christofle's stands at the 1878 and 1889 Paris exhibitions include items enamelled in the Japanese taste, a testament to the enduring market for Asian-inspired objects throughout the century (see H. Bouilhet, Christofle, Silversmith since 1830, Paris, 1981). Emile-Auguste Reiber imitated Japanese production techniques to satisfy the vogue for exotic styles. His much lauded designs were used by many of the leading artisans of the time, including Theodore Deck, and the ébéniste Jean-Michel Grohé who created two cabinets for La Païva. Interestingly, the bronzes and enamels for these cabinets were executed by Christofle, where Reiber was employed as chief designer. At the 1873 exhibition in Vienna, which was billed as a ''meeting of East and West'', Christofle exhibited a Chinese style enamelled vase designed by Reiber that received high accolades. In 1877 in Paris, he published Le premier volume des Albums-Reiber, a volume of 40 design prints concentrating on Japanese objects by Cernuschi, Bing, and Maron in Yokohama. Vgl.: M. Bascou; M.-M.

FIRST EDITION, HEAVILY ANNOTATED BY SUZANNE WARREN.WARREN, Suzanne [i.e. Suzanne Henriette Angèle WARENGHEM ([?]1911-99)] - Gordon YOUNG (b. 1905). In Trust and Treason. The Strange Story of Suzanne Warren. London: E. Hulton and Co., Ltd., 1959 [imprint and date on a printed label pasted onto the verso of title]. 8vo (217 x 140mm). Half title, half tone portrait frontispiece and illustrations. Original black buckram, spine lettered in silver (some damp-staining), variant dust-jacket printed in black, yellow and white with price of 18s. unclipped (a few tears without loss, some creasing at edges). Provenance: "Suzanne Charise ..." (signature, with Wimbledon address, on front free endpaper; "Charise" was Suzanne Warren's codename); various typed notes and relevant newspaper clippings loosely-inserted. FIRST EDITION, SUZANNE WARREN'S COPY, with her extensive ink proofing and annotation. A preliminary leaf is inscribed by Suzanne Warren, "This book is to be returned to me as soon as possible. The following corrections are marked clearly on the pages concerned: take out full pages 89, 90, 91 [etc] ... page 113: only change to make us sleep and be found in separate bedrooms - take out photo of me carring[sic] my baby (facing page 144). The above information is given only to help find pages where corrections are clearly marked"; with the corresponding amendments and deletions made in the body of the text itself. Most of the deleted passages relate to Suzanne Warren's relationship with and marriage to the infamous double-agent Paul Cole (a.k.a. Harry Cole, and with various other aliases) about which - perhaps unsurprisingly - she seems especially sensitive, to the point of wishing it to be expunged altogether from Young's narrative. "The heroic story of a Frenchwoman in the Resistance Movement includes one of the most extraordinary and personally tragic episodes of the war in France. Suzanne Warren (her anglicised name in British Intelligence records) threw herself into the work of helping the escape from France of British soldiers and airmen. In the course of this she met a dashing Englishman [Cole] who ran the escape route organisation in northern France. She fell in love with him and they were married in Nazi-occupied Paris. From then on the story, as unexpected and exciting as a novel, turns to a tragedy and a climax which ends in a gun battle in a Paris tenement ..." (from the turn-in).
