About the Item

This well detailed terra cotta statue of a woman filling a water jug is from the late 19th century and measures over 30 inches high. The woman is holding a jug under the spout of a fountain; the spout is depicted as a lion mascaron. Beneath the lion spout are a pair of entwined stylized dolphins, and the fountain sits on top of a shaped pedestal. She is wearing a long dress with a shawl around her neck and shoulders, and she is looking down while standing on the fountain’s pedestal. The surface color and details of the statue remain quite fresh and crisp considering the age. The artist (small signature visible on back) has done an excellent job portraying the flowing fabric of the woman’s dress and has added small details throughout, which are a joy to inspect.

Pair of Antique Terracotta Statues, Paris, circa 1880

By Gossin Frères Manufactory

Located in Dallas, TX

This charming pair of French terracotta statues depicts a male and female musician and was made during the latter half of the 1800s. Both statues have been stamped “GOSSIN PARIS” on the back sides. The Gossin factory in Paris was led by two brothers, Etienne (died in 1900) and Louis (1846-1928). The brothers regularly showed their wares at the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, the Salon de Paris, where they would often bring home medals for outstanding quality works. They were very well known for their ornamental terra cotta fabrications which were exhibited all-over the country, where they also took home various medals. Both of these statues represent musicians siting upon rocky bases decorated with flowers, and our male musician has been depicted holding a “musette de cour”, which is a relative of the bagpipe. The female musician can be seen with a “vielle à roue” in her lap. A vielle à roue is a string instrument that produces sound when a crank is turned. The crank rotates a wheel that rubs against the strings. The sound can be compared to that of a violin. Place this elegant pair of 19th century terracotta musician statues...
