About the Item
Antique French Animalier Gold Ormolu Gilt Bronze Bird Figure Sculpture Pheasant
French
Ormolu (Gilt Bronze)
Late 19th Century
Dimensions: H x W x D: 13cm x 20cm x 4.5cm
This finely executed antique sculpture depicts a golden pheasant.
Crafted in the late 19th century, its stylistic features reflect the influence of the French school of animalier artists, renowned for their realistic animal sculptures.
The bird is superbly cast in gilt bronze, also known as ormolu. Standing majestically upright, the pheasant faces directly toward the viewer, its long, feather-filled tail extending far beyond the base, adding to its sense of grandeur. Particularly striking is the bird’s head, adorned with a prominent crest. In nature, this cluster of feathers can open and close and is used for display and communication.
The pheasant stands on a naturalistic, rocky base, further enhancing its lifelike presence.
The golden pheasant holds deep symbolic significance. In Chinese culture, it is believed to be the ancestor of the phoenix, the mythical bird associated with rebirth and immortality. The pheasant symbolises auspiciousness, good fortune, virtue, and beauty, imbuing the antique sculpture with further meaning.
This visually captivating figure is a highly desirable addition to any collection, particularly for those with an interest in ornithology.
