Badge or Harness Pendant 14th century Spanish Heraldry, or coat-of-arms, were vitally important in Europe throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Heraldic emblems were used to identify noble families, cities, regions, and even countries. In addition to being displayed on shields and flags, heraldry was incorporated into architectural decoration on the interior and the exterior of buildings, on furniture, works of art, clothing, and horse equipment. Harness pendants, like this example, would have been attached to a headstall, bridle, or other straps making up the tack of a horse ridden by a nobleman or noblewoman, or a member of their household. Many harness pendants also have decoration that is simply ornamental, or have symbols that are not specifically heraldic in nature.. Badge or Harness Pendant. Spanish. 14th century.

The gilt bronze (ormolu) was in keeping with the gilded carving found on the walls of many rooms.Pendant in the form of a centaur late 16th-early 17th century possibly Spanish Baroque pearls provided a special challenge to the imagination of the Renaissance goldsmith. The rather difficult shape of this irregular pearl has been used in an ingenious way to suggest the hybrid form of the centaur, the half-human, half-equine creature of classical myth. The base of the jewel incorporates an earlier piece of gold filigree work in a lobed pattern associated with Hispano-Moresque design. In addition, although reenameled, it displays traces of the dull enameled colors used by Hispano-Moresque goldsmiths. The jewel-decorated band on the side of the base, the chains, and the canopy from which the chains are suspended are later additions..

One of a pair, this wall sconce was, according to the 1833 inventory, in the pavillon de la Conciergerie in the apartment of Emmanuel-Louis-Nicolas Viollet-Le-Duc, keeper of the palace and father of the famous architect Eugène Emmanuel. An elongated ornament pendent from the palmette motif between the two branches is missing. This ornament is still present on a similar wall light, one of a pair that was supplied in 1808 to the chteau de Fontainebleau by bronze caster and chaser Ravrio who was most likely also responsible for the Museums wall sconce. Ravrio worked for the French court before the Revolution and later for Napoleon.. Two-light wall bracket 189747 Maker: Attributed to Antoine-Andr?

Design for Church Lamp Stand 363864Condiment Dish 1885 Union Porcelain Works Union Porcelain Works was one of the most important and inventive American porcelain manufacturers in the second-half of the nineteenth century. In addition to their imaginative works designed by the German-born artistic director, Karl H. L. Müller, the firms mainstay was the production of heavy porcelain hotel dinnerware. This extensive service was made by Thomas Carll Smith, head of the Union Porcelain Works, as a gift to his daughter, Pastora Forest Smith Chace. The neoclassical decoration of the gilt bellflower and basket motif is complimented by turquoise enamel. Unlike the firms more eccentric and lavish designs created for their display at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876, the pottery favored a more restrained classical style for their dinner services. This service descended in the Chace family.. Condiment Dish 2245
