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

Bronze Figure Of A Winged Putto (probably Eros) Circa 1550–1600
Located in Bilzen, BE
"Bronze Figure Of A Winged Putto (probably Eros) Circa 1550–1600" North Italian Renaissance Bronze Figure of a Winged Putto (Possibly Eros) Attributed to a Paduan or Venetian workshop, ca. 1550–1600 Cast bronze with dark brown patina and signs of verdigris; formerly winged; mounted on a threaded base; both hands drilled for original attributes. Height: 10.6 cm Width (hand to hand): 8.5 cm This finely cast bronze figure represents a dancing or airborne putto, likely an allegorical figure such as Eros or a cherubic spirit, originally intended as a functional decorative element — possibly for a lamp, inkwell, or ceremonial vessel. The figure is modeled with dynamic balance, standing on one leg with both arms extended, and was once fitted with separately cast wings, now missing, as evidenced by deep, symmetrical sockets on the upper back. The facial modeling is serene and idealized, with softly rounded cheeks, almond-shaped eyes, and structured curls in a distinctly Renaissance style, reminiscent of the North Italian tradition of Andrea Riccio...
