Summary[edit]
| Description |
Français : Console murale néogothique « au dragon ».
Sur cette console est apposée, gravé sur le fer « Pre (Pierre) Boulanger Ferronnier », voir détail photo. Ce ferronnier (1813-1891, source Wikipédia) est connu pour avoir réalisé comme œuvre majeure les pentures de la porte centrale de Notre-Dame de Paris et d’autres importantes œuvres dans la France entière. Il avait comme maitre d’œuvre Viollet le Duc. Date de réalisation, moitié du XIX siècles. On peut supposer que cette œuvre supportait soit une enseigne, une lanterne ou simplement décorative et mettant en avant toute la symbolique du dragon. Avant restauration cette pièce présentait une multitude de couches de peinture, elles ont été soigneusement enlevées sans altérer le fer. Une cire naturelle a été mise pour la protéger de toute oxydation. Cette œuvre est actuellement positionnée sur un support stylisé afin qu’elle devienne un élément de décor majeure pour un intérieur. Les dimensions sont: longueur 110 cm, hauteur 165 cm (sous dragon), poids total 110 kg.English: An ornate Neo-Gothic bracket supporting a sculptured dragon in solid iron.
A hand crafted signature is evident, engraved into the iron as « Pre (Pierre) Boulanger Ferronnier (blacksmith) » This Blacksmith (1813 – 1891, source Wikipedia) is renound to have worked on major projects all over France during his time including the hinges of the main doors of Notre – Dame of Paris. It was Viollet le Duc, a famous French architect, known for his sensitive medieval restorations and a major Gothic revival architect that commissioned Boulanger for some of his work. We can only suppose that this piece was created as a support base for a sign, or a large lantern or possibly just as a decorative sculptural pièce highlighting the dragon as the main symbol. This artwork was carefully restored by removing layers and layers of paint without damaging the integrity of the iron below. Afterwards, a natural wax layer was applied as a protection against oxidation.
