- Lost-Wax Cast Bronze Fountain Depicting Three Putti Holding a Shell in a BasinLocated in Yonkers, NYA contemporary cast bronze garden fountain with three putti holding a shell in a self-contained basin. Featuring a classical theme drawn from the Greco-Roman mythology, this charming bronze fountain features three lively putti climbing on one another's shoulders to elevate a textured shell. Cast with the traditional technique of the lost-wax (à la cire perdue) allowing great precision in the details, the putti attract all of our attention with their cheerful attitudes. The smoothness of their bodies contrasts beautifully with the darker and rougher aspect of the basin, as well as their hair. They are wrapped in delicate cloth, that is flapping in the wind as they are making their movement upwards. Their gentle progression, from leaning on the basin to extending their arms upwards, creates the perfect counterpoint to the horizontal aspect of the basin. With its classical theme, lovely bronze patina and contrasting textures, this 21st century cast bronze fountain...Category

- Monumental Italian Wall Fountain in Carved Verona Rossa Marble, Early 1900sLocated in Dallas, TXThis monumental Italian wall fountain was hand-carved in verona rossa marble in the early 1900’s. Truly the work of a master mason, the fountain is comprised of three thick pieces of richly carved marble, with each piece weighing several hundred pounds. The marble has lovely salmon color with cream inclusions that has developed a soft patina. The 3 ¼” deep back wall is adorned with a repetitive C-scroll border. A winged lion mascaron hovers above a geometric panel filled with nondescript interlaced carvings. Below the panel is a scalloped shell with sprawling barbed rinceaux that flows between a pair of volute scrolls on the edge of the wall. The shell has a small, incised circle where a spout or tap can be placed, depending on the desired use. Beneath the vertical wall is an 8 ½” thick sinuous bowl embellished with thick quarter round molding. The front façade has a stylized coat of arms consisting of a shaped shield emblazoned with a fleur de lys. Inside the basin, the back wall has been carved with a pair of volute C-scrolls surrounding bundled leaves. At the base of the leaves is a small drainage hole. Three volutes highlight the luxurious column that sits on a rectangular plinth with two canted corners. All three volutes are in the traditional S-shape, with two of them flanking the larger channeled scroll. A small fleur de lys graces the front of the plinth, which has gently sloped top edges. There is a thin grooved molding near the base. A natural conversation piece for any courtyard or garden setting, the Renaissance style Italian wall fountain can be used indoors or outside. It could also be used as a large sink...Category
