About the Item
Bronze helmet spark arrester, 19th century
This bronze spark arrester was made around 1880. Inside an architectural structure chiseled with volutes and leaves, a scalloped outline holds the screen of the fire arrester. The mesh, which is original and decorated with gridded and interspersed patterns, has a slight accident. The bronze piece is supported on either side by two column-shaped feet ending in four snail-shaped branches. On each column culminates a medieval helmet with a beautiful plume in the spirit of Théodore Gechter, a famous sculptor and bronze-worker of the first half of the century. Under the top of the breastplate, we can make out two laurel branches and a coat of arms decorated with a band and a point. Indeed, at the beginning of the 19th century, artists rediscovered the Middle Ages, a period until then totally set aside in favor of Antiquity. This bronze piece bears witness to this newfound taste for medieval themes.
