Collection J. Garie, objets d'art et peintures du Japon et de la Chine
A 1906 Paris auction catalogue from the Hôtel Drouot, cataloguing the collection of J. Garie, a sale of Japanese and Chinese decorative objects and paintings. The four plates show metal objects photographed against plain grounds, so the record gives little beyond the sale itself. A designer might take from them the relief-carved surfaces of round bronze boxes and the open, cut-out forms of sword guards, with dragons, waves and maple leaves as ornament.
