About the Item

An exceptional and very high quality French 19th century Neo-Classical st. ormolu and white Carrara marble statue of Cupid offering a rose to Psyche. The statue is raised on a rectangular white Carrara marble base with a fine wrap around mottled border and beautiful pierced scrolled foliate mounts at each corner with impressive paw feet. Above is the wonderfully executed handsome Cupid shown as an unarmed adolescent, with short wings and wonderfully richly chased details in a superb satin and burnished finish.
