Pair Of Chimères/massier Columns
A pair of large Massier ceramic platters with gray-green glaze. The two feline-headed chimeras face each other, seated on molded, stepped bases. Their outstretched wings, with finely detailed feathers, frame the square platters.
The nuanced glaze highlights the relief of the flowing manes, the slightly parted mouths, and the clawed paws. With their mirrored proportions and composition, these pedestals are ideal for display on either side of a fireplace or an entryway, either on their own or to showcase vases and sculptures.
This model is similar to the “Socle Chimère,” listed as No. 293 in Jérôme Massier’s general catalog.
