THE MAGAZINE AUCTION RESULTS<br />
€52,800<br />
Sarreguemines<br />
<strong>Art</strong> Nouveau period<br />
Offered for sale on 10 February in Reims, these<br />
six panels from the Sarreguemines pottery<br />
works were clearly influenced by the decoration<br />
of Paul de Geiger's winter garden by<br />
Joseph Carl Paul Schuller. Signed with the<br />
monogram P.P.S., they were expected to<br />
make around €4,000 each. Their skilfully laidout<br />
compositions reveal considerable chromatic<br />
qualities, making use of subtle shades.<br />
In the spirit of <strong>Art</strong> Nouveau, the landscapes<br />
depict naturalistic scenes, five of them<br />
inspired by Japanese prints. These wellpreserved<br />
panels were finally carried off at<br />
double their estimate, €52,800, by a collector<br />
from Champagne after some lively bidding<br />
(Guizzetti-Collet auction house).<br />
