Description
Jules BRATEAU (1844–1923) A truncated-conical pewter tankard decorated with three large arches separated by Gothic arcades and pinnacles, featuring the three Fates accompanied by floral and plant motifs. The handle is decorated with flowers, children and a heron. Unlike other examples, the lid does not bear the Latin inscription ‘Parcis, feliciter, obstat’. Shell-shaped thumb rest. The artist’s clear hallmark in the cartouche of Lachesis and a gallows hallmark engraved on the neck. (Minor knocks to the base) Height: 21.5 cm. NB: Model created in 1884. A piece of exceptional finesse in its execution. Bibliography: ‘Jules BRATEAU’ by Jean-Christophe BOUCAUD, who states in his book that specimen No. 1 is held at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. The three Fates: Clotho, the spinner, wove the thread of life; Lachesis, the restorer, unwound it; and Atropos, the inexorable one, cut it.
