About the Item

This early 20th-century French bronze trophy beautifully captures the elegance and athleticism of fencing, featuring a striking figure of a poised fencer standing tall with a sword in hand. The sculpture exudes confidence and artistry, with meticulous attention to detail visible in the lifelike folds of the traditional attire, the confident stance, and the finely rendered facial features. Crafted from patinated bronze, the piece boasts a rich, warm finish that highlights its timeless appeal and enhances its detailed craftsmanship. Resting on a round pedestal base adorned with intricate decorative motifs, the sculpture radiates a sense of prestige and sophistication. Likely commissioned as a trophy for a fencing competition or as a commemorative piece, it serves as a historical artifact celebrating the cultural significance of sports during this era.
