About the Item

Putti Making Music (French) • Bronze Plaque, ca. 25 x 28 cm • Weight ca. 2480 gramms Worldwide shipping for this object is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. A substantial relief, depicting a group of three Putti, draped in swirling ribbons and veils, dancing and making music. This animated plaque, cast in the manner of Claude Michel (20 December 1738 – 29 March 1814), known as Clodion, who was a French sculptor in the Roccoco, especially noted for his works in marble, bronze, & terracotta. Cast bronze plaques are notoriously difficult to date, as it was and is common to make sand molds of earlier existing examples, to then recast the object. Of course detail and shaping is lost with every generation. I see no reason, not to date this fine plaque to 19th century France, but with lack of a conclusive provenance, I can't give a cast guarantee (so to speak). The figures details are certainly well defined and the patina is pleasing. The back looks good, with the usual light wear, verdigris and retaining some leftover old casting sand in the depressions. There are no damages and except for a tiny, unnoticeable cavity/casting bubble in the chest of the Putti on the far right, the relief is in delightful condition, perfectly ready to display.
