Early 20th Century Still-life Sculptures

These four botanical specimens from the herbarium of A. Brun were hand-picked, pressed and preserved in the late-19th century. Each plant specimen is elegantly presented within a fine hardwood frame and includes a hand-written taxonomy card with the plant’s scientific name, family, habitat, and date collected. Originally used to document the plant diversity of a particular geographic area, herbariums wonderfully preserve the beauty of nature, making them quite a captivating and charming addition to any wall. From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.

REMBRANDT BUGATTI French, 1884 - 1916 COQ signed "R. Bugatti" (along the left leg) bronze with brown patina Cire Perdue "C. VALSUANI" foundry seal 15-3/8 X 9 X 6-1/4 inches (39,5 X 22.7 X 15,6 cm.) With marble base: 16-3/8 inches (41,5 cm.) height PROVENANCE Spanish Collector, Madrid Rembrandt Bugatti (16 October 1884 – 8 January 1916) was an Italian sculptor, known primarily for his bronze sculptures of wildlife subjects.
