About the Item
AUGUSTE DE WEVER (1836-1910)
From our Bronze Sculpture collection, we are delighted to offer this superb Auguste de Wever Fleur d’amour Belgian Bronze Figure. The Sculpture modelled in bronze features a seated maiden upon a column with ivy growing up the base and a pair of turtle doves to her feet. The maiden scantily clad sits with her arms in the air holding a bunch of flowers as she peers down at cupid resting on her knees. The Bronze Figure is signed around the base Aug De Wever for Auguste de Wever (1836-1910) and with the model Fleur D’amour meaning Flower of Love. The Auguste de Wever Fleur d’amour Belgian Bronze Figure is a classic romantic sculpture dating to the second half of the 19th century circa 1860 during the reign of Napoleon III.
AUGUSTE DE WEVER (1836-1910)
Although de Wever was a known sculptor producing high quality figures, there is very little known about his life and career. De Wever was born in Belgium and most likely moved to Paris to further his career. He began his metal working career under Charles Wiener learning the art of making medallions and through his medallion career he began to design sculptures in the prevailing Parisian fashion of the time. He became well-known for his romantic allegorical figures, opera characters and “genre” pieces. De Wever worked with the Compagnie des Bronzes foundry for the majority of his casting and his work can be found in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels.
