Pair of French Early 19th C. Patinated and Dore Bronze Egyptian Revival Chenets
About the Item
This pair of French chenets from the Early 1800s is a stunning example of Egyptian Revival design. The chenets feature a stately dark patina bronze sphynx body on top of a decorated bronze dark patina table with Gilt Bronze decoration and golden legs. The sphynxes are finely detailed, with intricate carvings and engravings that showcase the skilled craftsmanship of the French designers of the Early 1800s Empire Period.
The Egyptian Revival style popular in the 19th century was inspired by the artifacts and designs of ancient Egypt. The use of the sphynx as a decorative element was a common motif in this style, and these chenets are a beautiful example of this trend.
In excellent condition, these chenets are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the French designers of the 19th century. They would make a stunning addition to any home, particularly those with traditional or antique décor. True works of art, the chenets will be treasured for generations to come.

- French 19th C Gilt and Patinated Bronze Group of Gloria Victis, by A. MercieBy Antonin Mercie, F. Barbedienne FoundryLocated in New York, NYAn Incredible and Large Gilt and Patinated Bronze Group of Gloria Victis, a Winged Figure of Victory with a Fallen Warrior. This incredible bronze piece was cast after a model by Maarius-Jean-Antonin Mercié, This model is signed 'F. BARBEDIENNE FONDEUR PARIS' demonstrating that it was cast by Ferdinand Barbedienne's foundry, the best bronzier of the 19th century. The base is further signed 'A. Mercie' and stamped 'Réduction Mécanique' with an inscription of '659'. The figure is mounted on a Belgian noir marble base with various stepped edges. Gloria Victis is one the most well-known and important bronze casts of the 19th Century. The quality of this particular model is absolutely incredible and all the marking indicate that this particular piece is one of the finest produced by the Foundry. A student of Jouffroy and de Falguière at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Marius-Jean-Antonin Mercié (1845-1916) won the Grand Prix de Rome at 23 years old with his work Thésée vainqueur du Minotaure. In 1872, he sent the plaster model of his work David vainqueur to the Salon, for which he won the first class medal. At the same time, he received La croix de la Légion d'honneur at the Villa Medici. His return to Paris, in 1874, issued in a long and brilliant career with numerous commissions, notably the monuments for Louis-Philippe and Queen Marie-Amélie for the Royal Chapel at Dreux (1886). By the age of 30 Mercié was already very well-known and his Gloria Victis received resounding success when it was exhibited at the Salon, in 1874 (in plaster) and in 1875 (in bronze). This work exalted the heroism and the patriotic sentiments aroused by the disasters of 1870. His predilection for patriotic subjects is shown in many of his works such as Quand même...Category
