About the Item
Beautifully sculpted and cast, this large and remarkable bronze urn is enlivened with a series of nude mythological figures in bas relief, the dark bronze color highlighted with areas of verdigris, indicating that it sat in an outdoor garden. The figures are superbly modeled, and the relief is high, bringing great drama to the scenes. The figures are clearly inspired by Greek and Roman sculpture, but the two large handles are executed in a florid, Renaissance manner. The bronze is heavy and substantial, indicating that it dates to the turn of the 20th century, and the piece sits on a marble base.

"Music and Wine, " Lidded Bronze Bowl w/ Greek & Renaissance Motifs, E F Caldwell
By Edward F. Caldwell & Co.
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Made by Edward F. Caldwell & Company of New York, America's most distinguished and lauded maker of fine lighting fixtures and metal decorative pieces in the early 20th century, this lidded bowl of cast and repoussé bronze depicts a series of winemaking scenes on the lid and a frieze of Renaissance angels playing lute and pipes on the bowl below. This piece is rare, and rarer still is the fineness of casting and enameling seen here. The Caldwell company was founded by E. F. Caldwell with Victor von Lossberg in 1895, and before long the company was collaborating with the likes of Stanford White and other prominent architects, supplying lighting and architectural details for a veritable "who's who" of prestigious building projects. Among them: the University Club, Andrew Carnegie...
