Cherub Holding a Dolphin Pompeii Bronze Fountain
About the Item
Late 19th Century Bronze Fountain of a Cherub Holding a Dolphin. The subject of a cherub and dolphin is a classical motif, symbolizing love and the sea. This finely cast piece captures a tender moment between a winged cherub and a dolphin, the boy is holding the dolphin aloft, poised as if in mid-play. Water flows from the dolphin’s mouth, adding both visual and auditory delight to its surroundings. The sculpture sits atop a circular bronze base adorned with a subtle foliage border. The surface bears a beautiful natural patina that has developed over time, giving it character and authentic antique appeal. The piece may have adorned a villa or manor’s garden feature. Whether placed as a standalone sculpture, or restored to full fountain function, this enchanting piece is sure to be a captivating focal point in any refined setting.
