Catalogue Note

Né à Madrid en 1834, Placido Zuloaga est issu d'une famille d'armuriers. A l'âge de 14 ans, il se rendit à Paris pour être formé auprès de Henri Lepage comme Arquebusier du Roi. Avec son père Eusebio, Placido participa aux Expositions Universelles à Londres (1851), Paris (1855), Bruxelles (1856) et Vienne (1857-58). Parmi ses oeuvres les plus importantes, il faut mentionner une pendule réalisée en 1865 pour Napoléon III à la demande de la reine d'Espagne Marie-Christine de Bourbon. Un important vase en fer damasciné de Placido Zuloagan, datant de 1881, a été vendu chez Sotheby's à Londres, lot 120.
