EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Pair of Double Salts, created by the talented Martin-Guillaume Biennais in Paris between 1798 and 1809. This exquisite piece falls under the category of applied arts, specifically European craftsmanship from the late 18th to early 19th century. The double salts are crafted from cast silver and feature intricate chased decoration, showcasing Biennais' exceptional skill as an artist. The gilded silver adds a touch of opulence to these functional yet decorative tableware items. At first glance, one is immediately drawn to the elegant figure of a female standing gracefully beside these magnificent salt cellars. Her presence highlights the artistic fusion between nature and culture that was prevalent during this period. A pair of swans, symbolizing grace and beauty, adorns each salt cellar with their delicate form. The floral motifs on these pieces further enhance their allure, adding a touch of femininity and charm. The golden color palette chosen for this creation exudes warmth and richness while paying homage to French heritage artistry. Displayed in an esteemed art gallery like the Art Institute Chicago, this artifact serves as a testament to Biennais' contribution to European design history. It represents not only his mastery but also reflects the cultural significance placed on homeware during that era. This photograph captures both the historical importance and aesthetic appeal of Biennais' Pair of Double Salts—a true treasure within Europe's applied arts tradition.
