The story

This beautiful piece of art is composed of two panels forming a composition. It unfolds as a stylized vegetal landscape, rendered in a palette of browns, patinated greens, gilt and mineral tones evoking a nocturnal garden. The décor is executed in relief, through layered and incised tinted lacquers that bring the floral and organic motifs to life, emerging from the surface. In the background, a full moon rises, partially veiled, structuring the composition and introducing a dreamlike dimension characteristic of the artist’s visual language.

This panel reflects Nicolas Seailles' deeply personal approach, at the intersection of painting, sculpture, and the decorative arts. The deliberately irregular and patinated surface treatment lends the ensemble a strong sense of depth and architectural presence, recalling certain material explorations of the 1910s centered on texture and the ideal of total art, or even some lacquer panels by Jean Dunand. Both immersive and contemplative, the work fully embodies the aesthetic of its time while retaining a timeless quality that makes it a singular and expressive decorative piece. Signed and dated at its base.

These two panels are framed by an oak frame. Each panel is dated and signed in the lower corner.
