At the core of this collects ion is a series of remarkable 19th century French trompe l'oeil pottery dishes, teeming with life from the natural world. The group is led by an early work signed by Charles-Jean Avisseau, often credited for rediscovering the “lost” techniques of Renaissance artist Bernard Palissy, of making casts of actual specimens of local fish, plants and reptiles. As well as Avisseau are works by his follower Thomas-Victor Sergent, and works attributed to the Barbizet workshop.
Raymond Chevan appreciated elaborately worked silver of many ages and cultures, as seen in this selection of highlights. He built his collects ion while on trips around the globe, as well as purchasing from the Silver Vaults in London.
