About the Item

This corner fountain has an architecture and decoration in Carrara marble, and in Statuary Carrara for the central figure of the young child. It offers a perfect symmetry on a shell supported by aquatic foliage that blooms towards the center of the basin. The mouth of the river-god spouts water from the top of the fountain. From there it flows slowly in undulating streams, thanks to the very cut out contours of the shell. This water will form a natural curtain, a real ceremonial drape, for the central figure of the basin, a masterpiece of sculpture. A young child seated with webbed legs holds a floral garland in her left hand, and with her right hand she sketches a graceful and delicate gesture. This fountain is attributed to Rudolf Weyr (1847-1914), an important Viennese sculptor of the late 19th century. The fountain is dated between 1890 and 1895. This period marks the peak of the Viennese neo-baroque style, which began around 1870 and was very prolific in sculpture, revisiting both the Baroque and Rocaille styles, styles that are found on our sculpture.

Late 18th century Statuary and Brocatelle marble fireplace with putti

Stone Well from the Louis XIV Period

Located in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FR

This circular well from the Louis XIV period is entirely carved in stone. The shaft of the well is composed of an eight pieces arrangement forming a "boudin" molding. The curbstone is marked by the patina of time and is thus irregular in shape. The base of the well is surmounted by a stone structure composed of two trapezoidal molded stones that hold a wooden winch and its chain. The whole base is topped by a one piece stone roof, the upper edge of which forms a four slope roof. While on one stone is engraved the date "1830", we believe that this stone well...
