History of Celtic Knots Celtic knots or Celtic interlace are ornamental patterns that first became associated with Celtic people in the early Celtic Church where they were used to decorate Bible. Monks used the Celtic knot designs to illuminate letters as they transcribed the New Testament into the Book of Kells. The Book of Kells is the best known source of Celtic knots as well as other types of Celtic ornament. The Book of Kells is a fantastic collection of paintings that illuminate the four Gospels in Latin, penned circa 800 AD. Knot work tradition in manuscript painting possibly came to Ireland in the middle of the 7th century in manuscripts illuminated by monks. From Ireland the style spread to Scotland, Wales, and Northumbria and with missionaries of the Celtic Church to Europe. Viking raiders later appropriated some of the design concepts into a more chaotic style of animal interlace. In recent years Celtic Knots have enjoyed a revival. As for symbolism, knot work designs are emblematic in modern times of the Celtic nationalities. The symbolism that has come down through the ages is as obscure and indirect as much of the speech and literature of the Celtic people. The never ending path of the strand represents the permanence and the continuum of life, love and faith. Please visit our website for more items: www.sheldonpewter.com
About Set of 4 18th Century Painted Louis XV Side Chairs, Attributed to J.B. Mouette A set of four Louis XV painted and newly upholstered side chairs painted in a white/ cream color and covered in silver/ grey linen fabric. With a cartouche-shaped padded back, serpentine padded seat, on cabriole legs, the top-rail, seat-rail and knees carved with flowers. The side chairs can be confidently attributed to Jean-Baptiste Mouette (born 1697, maitre 1740) as they have been acquired together with stamped Mouette armchairs, that displayed the same size, same carvings and same surface treatment. J.-B. Mouette married into the family of well-known Paris chair makers or 'menuisiers' by wedding the daughter of Etienne Saint-Georges (died 1736) and becoming the brother in law of Claude I Sené (1724-1792), who made chairs and armchairs for Louis XV. Those relationship to Saint-Georges is visible in design and style: an almost identical pair stamped Etienne Saint-Georges have recently been auctioned at Tajan in Paris. Mouette's work was of finest quality as evident in our set, the added JME in the stamp stands for 'jurande des menuisiers-ébénistes' and would be added once a committee, made up of elected guild members who inspected the workshops four times a year, had approved the quality. Newly upholstered in the French tradition with new springs and webbing and tread strong string through the webbing. Covered with high quality Marc Alexander linen (M200/22, Vintage Silverbirch) with added double welt cord. Comparative literature: Pierre Kjellberg: Le Mobilier Francais du XVIIIe Siecle, Paris 2008, p. 642 (biography Jean-Baptiste Mouette), p. 808 (biography Etienne Saint-Georges), fig. 809b.
