About the Item
France, 19th century
Lead
This ornamental fountain mask exemplifies the Regence style, a transitional aesthetic between the late Baroque and early Rococo periods in France . Cast in lead, the grotesque visage features exaggerated features and fantastical motifs characteristic of the period’s fascination with theatricality and classical mythology. Originally designed as a water spout for a garden fountain, the mask served both decorative and functional purposes, channeling water while lending a dramatic presence to the landscape. The use of lead, a durable and malleable material, allowed for fine detailing, which remains visible despite the natural patina acquired over time.
