Пара фигурных групп из позолоченной бронзы эпохи Наполеона III

Описание

An Exceptional Pair of Restoration Period Gilt-Bronze Figural Groups, Allegorical of Hunting and Fishing.

Each group is set on a naturalistically modelled base and finely modelled and chiselled with superb matte and burnished gilding. The first group represents Hunting, with two running figures, one holding a spear and another blowing a horn; the second represents Fishing, with one figure casting a net and the other kneeling down to hold a fish. The groups are raised on finely cast re-entrant plinth bases cast with strap-work cartouches and chimerical heads.

French, Circa 1830.
