PROVENANCE:
Former collection of Hippolyte Marie-Joseph Boivin (Guermantes, September 8, 1857, Bouvresse June 19, 1912).
This scholar from the late 19th century assembled a collection of patriotic faience of great importance, which was exhibited several times in French museums.
With a collector's temperament, Hippolyte Boivin gathered faience from Rouen, Marseille, Strasbourg, Delft, Nevers, enamel dial watches from the First Empire, ancient members, Normandy and Picardy wardrobes and clocks, various period trunks and clocks, tapestries, noisemakers from all over France and even abroad.
His grandson recounts that H. Boivin and his wife traveled from village to village, buying all objects they found of interest. These acquisitions enriched his own collections and those of the museum in Beauvais of which he was the curator from 1889 to 1912. In this collecting endeavor, he also developed a passion for military memorabilia, mainly headgear, copperware, bridle bits, and various historical souvenirs.
He had a gallery built in his garden to house his military collections, which were later displayed in the "Boivin Room" at the Dejean barracks (Amiens), destroyed during the Second World War. Hippolyte Boivin showed a preference for patriotic faience by reproducing through drawing and watercolor the pieces he had collected. Two motifs may explain this attraction: firstly, his family's exile from Champagne during the German invasion of 1870 may have instilled in him a taste for patriotic and military objects; secondly, his maternal grandfather's occupation as an operator of a stoneware pottery factory in La Chapelle-aux-Pots may have fostered his interest in ceramics.
The objects constituting the collection of this enlightened amateur were all acquired based on opportunities encountered "in the field," moreover, given the collection period: from the fall of Napoleon III until the eve of the Great War, their homogeneity has been particularly preserved.
