About the Item

This Antique Bronze Sculpture of a Putti Holding Candles, attributed to the French artist Paul Edouard Delabrierre (1829-1912), captures the playful and spirited nature of the Romantic period. The piece portrays a charming winged putto, dancing joyfully with a candle in each hand. His expression is one of youthful exuberance, embodying the idealized vision of cherubic innocence. Delabrierre’s expertise in capturing delicate forms and emotions is evident in the fine details, from the texture of the feathers on the putto’s wings to the soft curve of the child’s figure. The sculpture sits on an elegantly gilded base, which contrasts beautifully with the rich patina of the bronze. The base features a traditional, ornate pattern, offering an additional layer of sophistication to the piece. The overall design reflects the high craftsmanship typical of 19th-century French bronzes, particularly those created during the Romantic era, where artists sought to evoke both beauty and movement in their work. In nice antique condition, the sculpture shows a deep, consistent patina, enhancing its historical charm. This remarkable piece would make a captivating addition to any collection of 19th-century French bronze sculptures, adding a touch of classical elegance and youthful energy to any space. 9h x 5w x 5d
