19th Century French Bronze Allegorical Figure Signed Lemoyne

About the Item

Large 19th Century French Bronze Allegorical Figure Signed Lemoyne A striking and well-cast bronze sculpture dating from the late 19th century, signed Lemoyne to the base. The figure is confidently modelled, holding a laurel wreath in one hand and a classical chalice in the other — a symbolic representation of Victory or Triumph. The bronze is finely detailed throughout, with a rich brown patinated finish and naturalistic modelling typical of the Beaux-Arts period. Likely cast by a French or Belgian foundry around 1880–1910, this piece displays excellent workmanship and presence. The surface shows minor casting lines and light wear commensurate with age. Two small holes to the base suggest a title plaque was once affixed. An elegant and decorative sculpture of good scale and timeless appeal. Dimensions: Height: 59 cm Width: 20 cm Depth: 25 cm Origin: France or Belgium Date: Circa 1880–1910 Signed: Lemoyne (cast signature to base) Condition: Good, with light surface wear and minor casting marks.

Palatial French 19th-20th Century Allegorical Figural Cast Iron Group Torchere
By Val D'Osne Foundry
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A very fine and palatial French 19th-20th century allegorical figural cast-iron group torchere - sculpture - fountain - representing spring and the harvest, probably cast by Le Fonderies d'Art du Val d'Osne. The charming four-putti sculpture with a front standing putto holding a pole amongst wheat stalks, another putto kneeling and collecting wheat, a third one wearing a hat and picking flowers for a wreath and the fourth kneeling putto holding a bird's nest, all below an elongated classical stem with a glass globe (Electrified), circa: Paris, 1900. Overall height: 84 inches (213.4 cm). Width: 29 1/2 inches (74.9 cm). Circular base diameter: 24 inches (61 inches). Cast-iron had been in production during the 18th century but its inferior status to the more fashionable and delicate wrought-iron had generally confined its use to architectural work. By the early 19th century, however, rapid developments of the Industrial Revolution combined with the simultaneous burgeoning of a new middle class provided the impetus for a dramatic expansion in its application and in a short space of time a proliferation of iron foundries across Europe and America thrived on the production of everything from inkstands to railway stations. The use of cast-iron for garden ornament became particularly widespread at this time, as the possibilities for its mass-production at a fraction of the cost of bronze made it the material of choice for outdoor statuary...
