Paire de chaises klismos<\/em> par Terence Harold Robsjohn-Gibbings et Saridis d\u2019Ath\u00e8nes.

Elle s\u00e9lectionne alors un grand nombre de pi\u00e8ces issues de la collection Mobilier de la Gr\u00e8ce antique<\/em>, une collection m\u00ealant recherche savante et prouesse artisanale con\u00e7ue par Terence Harold Robsjohn-Gibbings apr\u00e8s sa rencontre en 1960 avec l\u2019\u00e9b\u00e9niste ath\u00e9nien Eleftherios Saridis. Les pi\u00e8ces, dessin\u00e9es par Robsjohn-Gibbings et ex\u00e9cut\u00e9es par Saridis \u00e9taient fabriqu\u00e9es en noyer grec et en bronze ; les garnitures en cuir \u00e9taient tiss\u00e9es \u00e0 la main, alliant ainsi technique artisanale et formes pures et modernes, dessin\u00e9es par Robsjohn-Gibbings sous le contr\u00f4le pour ainsi dire scientifique de l\u2019arch\u00e9ologue et historienne de l\u2019art Gisela Richter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00e8s mai 1961, le Roi et la Reine de Gr\u00e8ce assistent au vernissage de cette collection, tenu dans les ateliers de Saridis au centre d\u2019Ath\u00e8nes : vingt-six pi\u00e8ces y sont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de photographie d\u2019inventions arch\u00e9ologiques, fragments de c\u00e9ramiques (ici un l\u00e9cythe \u00e0 fond blanc conserv\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019Ashmolean Museum) ou de st\u00e8les fun\u00e9raires ayant fourni les mod\u00e8les de la collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le klismos<\/em> est sans doute la pi\u00e8ce la plus embl\u00e9matique de cette collection. Selon Richter, il est m\u00eame, d\u00e8s l\u2019Antiquit\u00e9, le \u00ab meuble grec le plus caract\u00e9ristique<\/em> \u00bb, o\u00f9 \u00ab le sens grec de l\u2019harmonie et de la gr\u00e2ce trouve sa plus haute expression<\/em> \u00bb. Il a \u00ab le dos incurv\u00e9 et les pieds simples et incurv\u00e9s<\/em> \u00bb dont la beaut\u00e9, g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement sans d\u00e9cor, \u00ab r\u00e9side uniquement dans les proportions et les lignes<\/em> \u00bb. Robsjohn-Gibbings avait d\u00e9couvert les formes du klismos<\/em> dans les ann\u00e9es 1930, lors de son retour en Angleterre apr\u00e8s quatre ann\u00e9es pass\u00e9es aux \u00c9tats-Unis : \u00ab Le samedi apr\u00e8s-midi,<\/em> \u00e9crit-il, j\u2019allais souvent au British Museum, et, l\u00e0-bas, errant dans les salles de la Bretagne romaine et de la Gr\u00e8ce antique, je suis tomb\u00e9 sur une chaise en bronze miniature servant de base \u00e0 un cand\u00e9labre grec. J\u2019ai d\u00e9couvert par la suite qu\u2019il s\u2019agissait d\u2019un si\u00e8ge grec appel\u00e9 klismos. Alors, en regardant d\u2019un \u0153il nouveau les peintures des vases grecs, j\u2019ai vu des chaises, des lits, des tabourets, des coffres et des tables.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019attrait du mobilier de Robsjohn-Gibbings et Saridis ne se borne toutefois pas \u00e0 sa fid\u00e9lit\u00e9 arch\u00e9ologique, et sa pr\u00e9sence dans les int\u00e9rieurs d\u2019Est\u00e9e Lauder ou de Doris Duke atteste que la c\u00e9l\u00e9brit\u00e9 de ces pi\u00e8ces a largement d\u00e9pass\u00e9 le cercle \u00e9troit des arch\u00e9ologues et des philhell\u00e8nes, ainsi d\u2019ailleurs que celui d\u2019Aristote Onassis ou du Roi de Gr\u00e8ce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
