About the Item
A spectacular and most impressive Italian 19th century white Carrara and Diaspro Tenero marble statue of Rebecca at the well, signed by Carmelo Fontana. Rebecca is standing proudly on an oval shaped marble base with foliage and is leaning beside a well while resting her two arms up on a jug. She is wearing classical draped attire with a beaded bracelet on her right wrist and a beaded necklace. She is gazing towards her right with her hair in and updo and with a wrapped turban. The pedestal is raised on a rectangular marble plinth with an ogee top edge. A delicate patinated Bronze plate is set below a smaller marble reserve and leads to a stunning and intricately detailed mount decorated with acanthus leaves. At the top of the column is a charming patinated Bronze twisted ribbon band below a larger egg and dart band before the swiveling marble top. The rectangular Diaspro Tenero di Sicilia marble top swivels and displays a square edge accented with a patinated Bronze Rais de Coeur band.
In the book of Genesis, Abraham sends his servant Eliezer out to find a bride for his son Isaac. Eliezer comes upon Rebecca, a stranger, who draws water from a well for him and all his camels. Recognizing her kindness, he identifies her as a suitable bride for Isaac and gives her a ring as a token of gratitude.
