Boch Frères La Louvière - The Auction Hall Plate n°10 from the "Les Halles" Series

These plates tell the story of an era. That of the former Halles de Paris, the beating heart of the city, where goods, voices, and gestures intermingled.

Produced by Boch Frères La Louvière in the mid-20th century, they capture simple and universal scenes of life.

Each piece is an image, but also a story. A moment of daily life transformed into memory.

In the spirit of Atelier HaruFuyu, these objects find a new resonance: that of a careful gaze fixed upon ordinary gestures, and the discreet beauty of the everyday.

Description

A plate representing an auction scene: an elevated seller announces prices before an attentive crowd.

The composition conveys the movement, tension, and energy of this moment.

Context

Les Halles de Paris were a place of intense negotiation, where spoken word and gesture determined the price.

History – Atelier HaruFuyu

The voice rises, cuts through the air, and sets the rhythm. Everything is decided in an instant.
