Antique French Bronze Egyptian Revival Sphinx on Marble Base
About the Item
A finely cast French bronze sculpture in the Egyptian Revival style, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. The figure represents a female sphinx, detailed with classical armor and a stylized nemes headdress. The figure is mounted on a rectangular slab of richly veined ochre marble with a polished finish.
The bronze features intricate surface detailing, including defined musculature and ornamental scrollwork across the chest and sides. The surface shows natural patina consistent with age. The marble base exhibits some surface wear and small chips on edges, typical for pieces of this period.
This object reflects the influence of neoclassicism and the 19th-century European fascination with ancient Egypt, which became particularly popular following Napoleon’s campaigns.
