French 19th Century Patinated Bronze Attributed to Fervill Suan

About the Item

An extremely high quality and charming French 19th century patinated bronze and ormolu statue attributed to Fervill Suan. The statue is raised by an octagonal bronze base with a decorative ormolu beaded band and engraved with the words "Envole-Toi" - Fly-Away. Above a berried laurel band is the fluted pedestal with detailed ormolu butterflies poised at the front. The richly chased winged cherub is draped in a swaging fabric while holding a butterfly net behind his back and intently observing a fine ormolu butterfly that has landed on his finger. Wonderful proportion, and facial expression, with fine attention to detail throughout. All original patina.
