Renaissance Style Fountain Model Presented at the 1851 World Fair
About the Item
Then, it’s circa 1851, that Hubert Lavigne realizes the model of our Neo-Renaissance style monumental fountain for the Val d’Osne foundry. Resting on an octagonal foot adorned with shells and reeds in slight relief, the fountain is composed of a first basin with small pendants all around with pierced flowers from where the water can flow and adorned with arabesques.
On the center of this basin a beautiful decor of reeds was sculpted inhabited by a heron, a turtle and a duck. They support a second basin of the which the serpentine edges and the external ribs remind of the characteristics of a shell. This last basin receives on its center a statue depicting a woman dressed in the Ancient way with a drapery around her waist and brandishing with her left hand a cup.
Some children sat on dolphins are blowing into conchs were placed all around the base they are animated. We particularly recognize the sculptor’s scissors in their shapes which remind the one of the sculpted children on the Louvre facade.

- Stone Well from the Louis XIV PeriodLocated in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FRThis circular well from the Louis XIV period is entirely carved in stone. The shaft of the well is composed of an eight pieces arrangement forming a "boudin" molding. The curbstone is marked by the patina of time and is thus irregular in shape. The base of the well is surmounted by a stone structure composed of two trapezoidal molded stones that hold a wooden winch and its chain. The whole base is topped by a one piece stone roof, the upper edge of which forms a four slope roof. While on one stone is engraved the date "1830", we believe that this stone well...Category
