About the Item
This antique bust of Marie Antoinette has been gracefully crafted in biscuit porcelain after the fashionable Sevres style. Biscuit, or bisque, describes the technique whereby the porcelain is left unglazed, in its pure white state. This method allows the details of the modelling process to be clearly seen. The unglazed bust is set on a glazed blue pedestal, creating a beautiful juxtaposition.
The figure of Marie Antoinette wears flowers in her hair and a pendant, displaying Louis XVI’s profile portrait, around her neck. The 19th century saw a revival of interest in bisque portrait busts of Marie Antoinette, like this one, and her husband Louis XVI, which had been produced in great number during their reign. The piece is signed with two blue-painted interlaced Ls, which contain an ‘A’, the date-letter for, circa 1754.
This revival piece is remarkable for its royal subject matter, as well as for the elegance of the craftsmanship.

An Ormolu bust of a 16th century Prince, by Rancoulet
French, Late 19th Century
Height 72cm, width 42cm, depth 22cm
Made by the skilled and renowned French artist and sculptor Ernest Rancoulet, (French, 1870-1915), this excellent gilt-bronze bust was made in the late nineteenth century, in fine neoclassical style. Rancoulet was best known for mythological scenes and figures, and depictions of athletes. He was also known for depictions of members of high society, often aristocratic women, exhibiting for a number of years at the Paris Salon, producing many exceptional likenesses, busts, and figurines, such as this.
In this work, the sitter, envisioned as a 16th century Prince or nobleman of sorts, towards out and towards the left. He wears a plumed hat and a high collared cape, with a typical period frilled ruff. His tunic is elaborately decorated with jewellery. A portrait full of character and vitality, this work is an excellent representation of Rancoulet's work, and of French Neoclassical sculpture...
