    Style
    Victorian - Victorian decorative arts refers to the style of decorative arts during the Victorian era. The Victorian era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historic styles and the introduction of cross-cultural influences from themiddle east and Asia in furniture, fittings, and Interior decoration. Victorian design is widely viewed as having indulged in a regrettable excess of ornament. The Arts and Crafts movement, the aesthetic movement, Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveaustyle have their beginnings in the late Victorian era.

    Style specifics
    The Late or Aesthetic Victorian Period - Experts divide the reign of Queen Victoria, also called The Victorian era (1837-1901) into three periods of about twenty years each; The Romantic Victorian Period (1837 - 1860), The Grand Victorian Period(1860 - 1880), and the Late or Aesthetic Victorian Period (1880 - 1901).

    We consider this to be of The Late or Aesthetic Victorian Period.

    Jewelry of this period is changing back from heavy to more smaller, romantic pieces with often whimsical motifs. Jewelers using diamonds and bright gemstones in elaborated and fine feminine pieces.

    Theme
    Sword - A sword is a bladed weapon (edged weapon) of more than 50 cm (20 inch) in overall length used primarily for cutting or thrusting. All have a blade and a handle, known as the hilt. Blades may be straight, curved, single-edged, double-edged or justpointed. Hilts vary considerably in style and length, and may include protective guards for the hand. Detailed design depends on the historical epoch or the geographical region under consideration.

    The use of a sword is known as swordsmanship or fencing. Basic principles have remained fairly constant through the centuries, but the actual techniques vary among cultures and periods as a result of the differences in blade design and purpose. The names given to many swords in mythology, literature, and history reflect the high prestige of the weapon and the wealth of the owner.

    The sword is said to be the emblem of military honor and should incite the bearer to a just and generous pursuit of honor and virtue. It is symbolic of liberty and strength. In the Middle Ages, the sword was often used as a symbol of the word of God. Freemasonry also uses swords on some rituals.

    The word sword comes from the Old English sweord, cognate to Old High German swert, Old Norse sverð, from a Proto-Indo-European root *swer- "to wound, to cut". (from: < a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword" target="top">Wikipedia)

  • Sur l'artiste

    Il peut arriver qu'un artiste ou un créateur soit inconnu.

    Certaines œuvres ne doivent pas être déterminées par qui elles sont faites ou elles sont faites par (un groupe d') artisans. Les exemples sont des statues de l'Antiquité, des meubles, des miroirs ou des signatures qui ne sont pas claires ou lisibles, mais aussi certaines œuvres ne sont pas signées du tout.

    Vous pouvez également trouver la description suivante :

    •"Attribué à …." A leur avis probablement une oeuvre de l'artiste, au moins en partie

    •« Atelier de …. ou « Atelier de » À leur avis, une œuvre exécutée dans l'atelier ou l'atelier de l'artiste, éventuellement sous sa direction

    •« Cercle de… ». A leur avis une oeuvre de la période de l'artiste témoignant de son influence, étroitement associée à l'artiste mais pas forcément son élève

    •« Style de … ». ou "Suiveur de ...." Selon eux, une œuvre exécutée dans le style de l'artiste mais pas nécessairement par un élève ; peut être contemporain ou presque contemporain

    •« Manière de… ». A leur avis une oeuvre dans le style de l'artiste mais d'une date plus tardive

    •"Après …." A leur avis une copie (quelle qu'en soit la date) d'une oeuvre de l'artiste

    •« Signé… », « Daté… ». ou « Inscrit » À leur avis, l'œuvre a été signée/datée/inscrite par l'artiste. L'ajout d'un point d'interrogation indique un élément de doute

    • "Avec signature ….", "Avec date ….", "Avec inscription …." ou "Porte signature/date/inscription" à leur avis la signature/date/inscription a été ajoutée par quelqu'un d'autre que l'artiste
