Description
A wonderful jewelry box in silvered cast bronze by Parisian art jeweler Line Vautrin (1913-1997). From a small special series, the designer created circa 1945-55. on which poems were cast in relief on the cover. Most existing examples features poems that are well-known. This poem, however, was not identified by us, and possibly is a creation of the artist herself. It is a very soulful prose (see the full poem in French below). Signed on the base as shown.
We have a gilt bronze box with the same relief cast poem that comes with a three-page Certification in French by Comite Line Vautrin, shown in some photos as well.
Reference: For other boxes with poems see "Line Vautrin Sculptor, Jeweller, Magician by Line Vautrin and Patrick Mauries, page 42.
"Les glaciers vagabonds qui ébranlent les murs
et les anges frileux qui cherchent un asile quand la nuit de décembre
anesthésie la ville t’effraient plus que les morts tutélaires et durs
Ils désertent pour toi leur sépulture hindoue
Tu sens dans tes cheveux leurs doigts qui se dé ouent leurs doigts qui se dénouent
Choisis-tu le grésil ou l’infernal azur?
Je crains de te sentir à tes ombres dociles
mon émigrante. Viens…
Choisis-moi pour vigile
Mes bras mieux que l’aïeul te tiendront en lieu sûr." -
