About the Item

A handsome French 19th century patinated Bronze, Ormolu and Breccia Pernice marble trophy of Clio, singed by Henri Chapu. The stunning commemorative trophy is raised by an Ormolu bottom plate below the solid Breccia Pernice marble body. Above is the vertically mounted patinated Bronze trophy of Clio, signed by renowned bronzier Thiebaut Freres, Paris. The plaque displays Clio seated on the base of a column dressed in a classical dress. Her arm raised is to let her dress flow in the air while books are on the ground and she holds a scroll. The books and scroll signifies the study and recording of the past. Above her left shoulder is a bust of Athena, as Clio is known for recording of the past, while Athena is known to applying it. Clio is one of the nine muses of Greek mythology, and the daughter of Zeus, while also being revered as the Muse of history. Beautiful scale with all rich and original patination.
