John Pearson Arts and Crafts Copper Zodiac Charger
Monumental John Pearson Guild of Handicrafts Arts and Crafts Zodiac Charger.
A monumental John Pearson Arts and Crafts copper Zodiac charger made at the Guild of Handicrafts circa 1892.
Deeply embossed depicting a central smiling sun motif with stylised radiating rays of sunlight with intermittent flower stems surrounded by the Latin verse "Tempus Edax Rerum" translating to "Time that devours all things" interspersed with stylised mythical birds.
The deep sided charger is then finished with the rim annulus deeply embossed with the twelve signs of the zodiac. A wonderful design feature is the growth of the flowers through the year corresponding to the appropriate zodiac symbol, an ingenious testament to Pearsons naturalistic ethos.
A highly decorative and wonderful Pearson example in completely untouched and original condition. It is the largest size zodiac charger known and weighs in at 6kg using substantial gauge copper. It is likely to have been made as a special commission or exhibition piece where he was known for his more familiar depictions of animals, birds and sealife.
Pearson initially worked as a ceramic artist at William DeMorgan and having learned metalworking skills at the Home Arts and Industries amateur classes, he became a founder member of the Guild of Handicrafts where he was responsible for metalwork production and design. Unfortunately he contravened Ashbee's work ethics having involvement with private commissions for Morris, Marshall and Faulkener Co. and was duely dismissed. He then moved from London to establish the Newlyn Industrial School to teach metalwork.
Size: 56.5cm diameter x 8cm height - 6kg in weight.
Circa: 1892
Condition: In untouched and superb condition importantly retaining its rich original patina, there are no splits, holes or unsightly dents, a bespoke stand is included for display purpose.
