Large Pair of Electrotype Bronze Figures by Carl Dopmeyer, French, circa 1894

About the Item

A large pair of electrotype bronze figures by C Dopmeyer This large and impressive pair of a late 19th-century electrotype bronze figures depicting medieval workmen. One is a road worker with a pickaxe, the other a blacksmith with a large hammer. They are both wearing the typical costume of the period. Both figures are in good condition with a mid-brown patination. Electrotypes were developed in the late 19th century as an alternative method of producing bronze in plaster and then building up a skin of bronze or copper with an electroplating process, similar to silver plating but much thicker. These pieces are quite rare, particularly at this large size. Signed C Dopmeyer 1894. Dimensions: W 17 cm (6.7") x D 14.5 cm (5.7") x H 50.5 cm (19.9").
