About the Item

HENRI ALFRED JACQUEMART French, 1824-1896 "Canard hubbé" Patinated bronze signed in base "A. JACQUEMART" Item # 309WOZ22L In the 19th century, the elongated form of the crested duck was commonly used as a paperweight. These petite items were favored by the upper class, often symbolizing the owner's personal interests or the prevailing fashion. This intricately crafted crested, or "pompom," duck represents a duck species brought to Europe from the East Indies by 17th-century Dutch vessels. Though uncommon in the 19th century, these ducks were cherished for their somewhat awkward land demeanor and their graceful aquatic elegance. They were often featured as ornamental additions to the water features of affluent estates. The present example is exquisitely cast in bronze after a model by Alfred Jacquemart, the renowned French sculptor of animals perhaps best known for the iconic model of a Hound Staring at a Tortoise that our gallery has represented many times. Despite its incredibly tiny profile, measuring only 3 1/2" in total width, the model features a brilliant surface texture with a fine original patina that positively glows. It is signed to the loosely naturalistic base "A. JACQUEMART" and retains the original wooden plug to the underside. A delightful acquisition. Measurements: 3 1/2" W x 1 5/8" D x 2 11/16" H Condition Report: Very fine original condition, trace rubbing to original patina; waxed, cleaned and polished.
