About the Item

French Gilded Bronze Rooster Vide-Poche on Basket Base This charming French gilded bronze vide-poche features a proud rooster standing majestically atop a woven basket-style dish, masterfully cast with intricate detailing and a warm gold patina. The finely rendered rooster—symbolic of vigilance and the French spirit—is accented with subtle green oxidation in the recessed areas, adding depth and vintage character to the piece. Originally designed as a catchall or ashtray, this decorative object blends functionality with sculptural elegance, making it ideal for use as an entryway tray, desk accessory, or collectible accent. Likely dating from the early to mid-20th century, it exemplifies classic French decorative craftsmanship.

Gilded Bronze Rooster Sculpture After Arthur Comte DU PASSAGE – Allegorical
By Vicomte Du Passage
Located in BARCELONA, ES
This striking gilded bronze sculpture, after Arthur Comte DU PASSAGE (1838–1909), captures the powerful image of a proud rooster—France’s enduring national symbol—standing atop military elements and holding a flag. More than a decorative object, this piece serves as a bold allegory of resilience, victory, and national pride. The rooster, or le coq gaulois, has long represented the fighting spirit of France, particularly during the 19th century. Here, its defiant posture over weaponry and a banner evokes themes of triumph over adversity, honor in battle, and patriotic vigilance. Set atop a refined circular green marble base, the warm golden patina adds sophistication, making it a perfect acquisition for collectors of symbolic art, French historical motifs, or refined decorative bronzes. Ideal for classic interiors or as a conversation piece rich with cultural significance. Keywords: French bronze sculpture, Arthur Comte du Passage, antique rooster statue...
