Bronze Bust of a German Soldier after Fisher on Marble Plinth

Bronze Bust of a German Soldier after Fisher on Marble Plinth

Located in Nottingham, GB

A sharply cast steel helmet with raised side bosses, rivets, and a stylised floral badge dominates this bronze portrait bust of a soldier. The figure is depicted with a resolute expression, featuring deeply set eyes beneath the helmet brim, defined cheekbones, and an athletic, bare-shouldered truncation that anchors the upper torso. The sculpture is cast in solid bronze and finished in a rich, multi-toned brown patination. Highlights across the nose, brow, and helmet edge catch ambient light, while darker chemical toning settles naturally into the recesses of the facial features, neck muscles, and chinstrap detailing. The bronze rests squarely on a polished rectangular base of black marble, naturally figured with contrasting white calcite veining. At the reverse of the bronze rim, an incised signature reads 'Fisher', positioned alongside a small circular bronze medallion stamped with the inscription 'EUROPEAN BRONZE FINERY...

French Art Nouveau Bronze Bust Cendrillon by Emmanuel Villanis, circa 1900
French Art Nouveau Bronze Bust Cendrillon by Emmanuel Villanis, circa 1900

French Art Nouveau Bronze Bust Cendrillon by Emmanuel Villanis, circa 1900

By Emmanuel Villanis

Located in Boven Leeuwen, NL

A finely modelled French Art Nouveau patinated bronze bust titled "Cendrillon" (Cinderella), after a model by Emmanuel Villanis (1858–1914), circa 1900. The bust is signed "E. Villanis" in the cast along the shoulder and titled "Cendrillon" in relief across the front of the integral architectural socle. The sculpture Villanis shows the fairy-tale heroine as a young woman with an introspective expression, her head turned gently to one side beneath a closely gathered headscarf. The smooth modelling of the face, neck and décolletage contrasts with the lively folds of the blouse, the layered scarf and the bow at the nape of the neck. From the side, the headscarf and gathered hair form a particularly sculptural silhouette, and the back is treated with the same attention to drapery and texture as the front. The tapered socle with its castellated decorative border gives the bust a finished, architectural presence. The dark brown patina has softened over time, revealing warmer bronze highlights on the raised folds, the shoulder, the title and the edges of the base. About the artist Emmanuel Villanis was a French sculptor who worked in Paris and became known for his graceful Belle Époque busts of women, often named after heroines from literature, mythology and opera. His models remain popular with collectors of French decorative arts. Condition Good antique condition, with age-related rubbing and patina wear to raised areas, particularly the headscarf, drapery, title and socle edges. No obvious repairs or restorations visible. Please see the photos for details. Dimensions: height 15 cm, width 9 cm, depth 6 cm. Display At 15 cm high, this cabinet-scale bronze is lovely in a library, dressing room, bedroom, salon or entrance hall, on a mantelpiece or desk, or in a display of Art Nouveau decorative arts. It suits a Belle Époque, Parisian or neoclassical interior and works equally well in a collected contemporary setting, where a small historic bronze adds depth and material richness. A companion bust by Villanis, "Carmen", is available in a separate listing in our storefront. Keywords: Emmanuel Villanis, Villanis bronze...

Pair of Orientalist Bronze Busts by Cordier, 1861

By Charles Henri Joseph Cordier 1

Located in London, GB

Pair of Orientalist bronze busts by Cordier, 1861 French, 1861 Man: Height 42cm, width 32cm, depth 18cm Woman: Height 40cm, width 26cm, depth 16cm This impressive pair of bronze busts were made by the renowned French sculptor Charles-Henri-Joseph Cordier (1827-1905). Known for his Orientalist works in bronze and marble, Cordier gained inspiration from his visits to Algeria. The male figure of this pair is after a study made during one of these visits. The figures form a wonderfully contrasting pair. The male bust wears a more sombre, downturned expression, whilst the female smiles almost sleepily. Both faces are expertly carved to achieve a human likeness, and the two figures are similarly dressed in embellished shirts and robes. The patination is exceptional throughout, providing light and shade to the facial features and garments. Gilding can also be seen on the woman’s earring...
