Pair of Antique Terracotta Statues, Paris, circa 1880

By Gossin Frères Manufactory

Located in Dallas, TX

This charming pair of French terracotta statues depicts a male and female musician and was made during the latter half of the 1800s. Both statues have been stamped “GOSSIN PARIS” on the back sides. The Gossin factory in Paris was led by two brothers, Etienne (died in 1900) and Louis (1846-1928). The brothers regularly showed their wares at the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, the Salon de Paris, where they would often bring home medals for outstanding quality works. They were very well known for their ornamental terra cotta fabrications which were exhibited all-over the country, where they also took home various medals. Both of these statues represent musicians siting upon rocky bases decorated with flowers, and our male musician has been depicted holding a “musette de cour”, which is a relative of the bagpipe. The female musician can be seen with a “vielle à roue” in her lap. A vielle à roue is a string instrument that produces sound when a crank is turned. The crank rotates a wheel that rubs against the strings. The sound can be compared to that of a violin. Place this elegant pair of 19th century terracotta musician statues...

W.P.A. Style Terracotta Figure's Study attributed to Frank Dobson

By Frank Dobson

Located in Buffalo, NY

W.P.A. Style Terracotta Figure's Study attributed to Frank Dobson. Amazing sculpture... unsigned but please feel free to research Dobson's terracotta studysmm Dobson, Frank (1886–1963). British sculptor, born in London, the son of an illustrator of the same name. From 1902 to 1904 he worked as an assistant to William Reynolds-Stephens. He then spent two years in Cornwall, earning his living with landscape watercolours, before winning a scholarship to Hospitalfield Art Institute, Arbroath, where he studied 1906–10. After returning to London, he continued his studies at the City and Guilds School, Kennington, then again lived in Cornwall, where he shared a studio with Cedric Morris in Newlyn. His early work consisted mainly of paintings, the few surviving examples showing how impressed he was by Roger Fry’s Post-Impressionist exhibitions (Stanhope Forbes, whom Dobson met in Newlyn, had been shocked by his modernism). He made his first carving in 1913, but his first one-man exhibition—at the Chenil Gallery, London, in 1914—consisted of paintings and drawings. After the First World War (when he served in France with the Artists’ Rifles...

Chinese Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) Terracotta Figure of a Standing Court Lady

Chinese Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) Terracotta Figure of a Standing Court Lady

Located in Westfield, MA

This finely modeled terracotta figure represents a standing court lady from the Chinese Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD), a period celebrated for its vibrant court culture, poetry, music, and cosmopolitan aesthetics. The figure exhibits the characteristic full, rounded facial features and elaborate coiffure associated with Tang feminine ideals, along with gracefully draped robes that animate the garment folds and lend a sense of quiet poise. Traces of original pigment remain visible across the surface, a reminder that these figures were once richly colored. Court lady figures of this type were traditionally placed in tombs as mingqi, or “spirit goods,” intended to accompany and serve the deceased in the afterlife. Their presence also reflected the wealth and status of the household, making them historically significant markers of Tang elite culture. Today they hold strong appeal for collectors of early Chinese art due to their refined modeling, expressive restraint, and direct connection to one of China’s most culturally influential dynasties. The figure retains a pleasing archaeological surface with expected losses to pigment and earthen encrustations consistent with age and burial, and is in nice antique condition overall. The sale includes a Certificate of Authenticity documenting its identification and period. An evocative example of early Chinese funerary...
