Note du spécialiste

The Parisian bronzier Henri Vian specalised exclusively in gilt-bronze, especially light fittings, and produced articles of the highest quality, so much so that the style of his casting and gilding can often be mistaken for earlier work. The firm's ateliers were located in the hôtel Salé (now the Musée Picasso) on the rue de Thorigny in the Marais.
