Bronze Sea Nymph Fountain with Large Shell and Turtle in Verdigris Patina

About the Item

A lost wax cast bronze fountain depicting a sea nymph holding a shell, standing next to a turtle. Created with the traditional technique of the lost-wax (à la cire perdue) which allows for great precision and finesse in the details, this fountain captures our attention with its skillful depiction of a sea nymph gracefully standing on a textured stepped base. Holding a large shell in her hands, the nymph is tenderly looking down at a turtle who is looking back at her. Her hair freely flowing in the air, the nymph is stepping forward with her right foot, thus creating a delicate torsion of her body. Boasting a verdigris patina, this bronze sea nymph fountain will bring a Classical presence to any garden!

  • Lost-Wax Cast Bronze Fountain Depicting Three Putti Holding a Shell in a Basin
    Located in Yonkers, NY
    A contemporary cast bronze garden fountain with three putti holding a shell in a self-contained basin. Featuring a classical theme drawn from the Greco-Roman mythology, this charming bronze fountain features three lively putti climbing on one another's shoulders to elevate a textured shell. Cast with the traditional technique of the lost-wax (à la cire perdue) allowing great precision in the details, the putti attract all of our attention with their cheerful attitudes. The smoothness of their bodies contrasts beautifully with the darker and rougher aspect of the basin, as well as their hair. They are wrapped in delicate cloth, that is flapping in the wind as they are making their movement upwards. Their gentle progression, from leaning on the basin to extending their arms upwards, creates the perfect counterpoint to the horizontal aspect of the basin. With its classical theme, lovely bronze patina and contrasting textures, this 21st century cast bronze fountain...
