French Sarreguemines Gnome Pipe En Bois Tobacco Jar Pot Box Case Humidor Holder

ANTIQUE FRENCH FROM SARREGUEMINES FIGURAL DUENDE GNOME ELF DWARF PIPE EN BOIS. TOBACCO, JAR, POT, BOX, CASE, HUMIDOR, PIPE HOLDER. THE HAT SEEMS TO BE BROKEN, BUT IS LIKE THAT. IS IN PERFECT CONDITIONS. BUYERS CAN CHECK IN THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS FIGURE WITH THIS WORDS: (PIPE EN BOIS CASTIGATE SIFFLENDO). I SHOW HERE PART OF THE TEXT. Voici, ce qui m’a été présenté comme un pot à tabac, en grès, qui m’a tout d’abord intrigué par la présence de ce gros sifflet dans la bouche du personnage. Il s’agit bien d’un simple sifflet de grosse taille et non d’une flûte ou d’un ocarina. En premier lieu, le pot porte à sa base un gros cartouche ” Pipe en bois ” qui identifie le personnage : il s’agit de Georges Cavalier (Tours 1842 – 1878) dit ” Pipe en bois “, étudiant et cabaliste parisien au milieu du XIXème siècle, dont Les mémoires ont été rééditées par les éditions Champ Vallon, précédés d’une biographie par Jean-Jacques Lefrère. Georges Cavalier devait ce surnom de pipe en bois aux traits de son visage, secs et asymétriques, tels ceux représentés sur certaines pipes en bois sculptées. Voilà qui explique la présence du sifflet comme attribut du personnage, ainsi que la citation latine figurant sur le pot proprement dit : ” Castigat sifflendo cocodès “, citation inconnue sur internet à ce jour mais qui n’est autre qu’un pastiche de la devise de la comédie, souvent attribuée à Molière, Castigat Ridendo Mores. “Les mentions ” Pièces de théâtre ” et ” Drames sur les livres posés à terre (et que le personnage n’hésite pas à piétinner) viennent compléter l’explication de manière évidente, mais sans s’appuyer plus précisément sur l’une ou l’autre des uvres malmenées par les étudiants en cabale. Le chiffre 343 est le numéro de forme de la pièce, qui permet de dater lobjet et de lattribuer à la manufacture de Sarreguemines de façon certaine, puisque les catalogues ou tarifs des objets de fantaisies de la manufacture (conservés au musée) stipulent pour ce numéro : 343 Pot à tabac pipe en bois, grès et permettent de dater celui-ci vers 1870. VERY GOOD IN GENERAL, SOME SLIGHT SIGNS OF USE. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS AS IMPORTANT PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. TO RELEASE THEM THEY CAN DELAY FROM A WEEK UP TO 1 MONTH.
