Magnificent Bronze Parrot by Jules Moigniez, 19th Century

About the Item

Magnificent 19th Century Bronze Parrot by Jules Moigniez Height: 55 inches Parrot Height: 36 inches Weight: 22 kg Material: Patinated Bronze with Polychrome Highlights Signed: J. Moigniez Perched with noble elegance, this extraordinary 19th-century bronze parrot is a rare and commanding sculpture by the celebrated French animalier Jules Moigniez (1835–1894). Known for his lifelike attention to detail and romanticized portrayal of nature, Moigniez imbues this tropical subject with both realism and charisma. Standing an impressive 55 inches tall, with the parrot alone measuring 36 inches, the piece is mounted on an organically stylized tree-trunk base that branches into a dramatic claw-foot motif — a sculptural flourish characteristic of the Belle Époque’s theatrical flair. The parrot itself is a triumph of form and color, with deeply textured feathers finished in a nuanced patina of dark bronze, accented with subtle iridescent hues and a vividly painted beak and eye area. The sculpture’s weight of 22 kilograms affirms its solid casting and museum-grade presence. Moigniez’s signature is prominently inscribed on the base, confirming its authenticity. This piece is not merely decorative — it is a statement of artistic craftsmanship and sculptural drama, ideal for collectors of fine 19th-century bronzes or luxury interiors seeking a singular focal point.

Kashmiri Mughal Bird Copper Ewer, Mid 19th Century
Located in Islamabad, PK
This exquisite piece of art seamlessly combines the intricate aesthetics of Mughal design with the skilled craftsmanship of Kashmiri artisans, resulting in a stunning and unique creation. The copper ewer takes the form of a bird, with its body forming the main body of the vessel and its neck serving as the spout. The bird's wings, tail feathers, and even subtle details like beak and eyes are meticulously rendered, showcasing the artisan's attention to detail. The entire form of the ewer is fluid and elegant, capturing the essence of avian grace. The surface of the copper ewer is adorned with elaborate Mughal-inspired engravings and embellishments. Floral patterns, intricate vines, and delicate geometric designs cover the bird-shaped body, creating a visually rich tapestry of artistry. The Mughal influence is evident in the precision of the decorative elements, reflecting the era's emphasis on fine craftsmanship and aesthetic sophistication. The handle of the ewer, perhaps formed as a continuation of the bird's body or as a separate element, is designed for both functionality and artistic harmony. It complements the overall form, allowing for easy pouring while maintaining the cohesive avian aesthetic. Such a Bird-shaped Kashmiri Mughal Copper...
