Earthenware and terracotta mantel dating from 1910 made by Hippolyte Boulenger Company

Hippolyte Boulenger compagny has realized many parisians building’s entrances and bought up Creil & Monterau’s earthenware factory in 1920.

This merger has risen the firm to a national fame with the most prestigious orders as wall-coverings in the Paris metro.

Underneath the mantel, a terracotta setting represents a salamander. A legendary amphibian whose stories are related to fire.

It likely originates from the tendancy of many salamanders to dwell inside rotting logs. When placed into a fire, the salamander would attempt to escape from the log, lending to the belief that salamanders were created from flames - a belief that gave the creature its name.
