About the Item

French gilt metal sculpture on Neoclassical pedestal by Ernest Rancoulet French, early 20th century Measures: Height 165cm, width 34cm, depth 34cm This fine sculpture group is by the French artist Ernest Rancoulet, who lived from 1870 until 1915. The sculpture, crafted from gilt metal, depicts a young couple in an outdoor environment. The young man holds a branch over the woman’s head, who walks beneath it with evident happiness. Both are superbly rendered in a naturalistic manner, and both stand on an integral ground littered with foliage and stones. The sculpture is supported by a tapering wooden pedestal crafted in the Neoclassical style. The pedestal is superbly veneered and adorned with gilt bronze mounts, including rosettes, foliate swags, and bunches of leaves and flowers. The base of the sculpture is signed 'Rancoulet'.

Imposing 19th Century Bronze Torchere, by Coutan
Located in Brighton, Sussex
This very fine patinated bronze figural torchere modeled as a classically clad female musician holding a mandolin and a marble torch. This symbolic representation of Music, falls within Coutan’s allegorical work. We have a number of marble pedestals this Torchere would stand on. Inscribed on base: Coutan, Thiébaut Frères, Fondeurs. Jules-Félix Coutan (22 September 1848 – 23 February 1939) is considered to be one of the most gifted French sculptors and designers of the 19th and early 20th centuries Coutan studied under the renowned Pierre-Jules Cavelier at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1872; after his return to Paris he executed the fountain group France Bearing the Torch of Civilization for the Exposition Universelle (1889), one of the two prominent sculptural commissions for the Exposition grounds.[1] Later he taught at the École des Beaux-Arts from 1900, where he expressed his disdain for the researches of Rodin— fumiste—[2] and the Impressionist sculptors who followed him. Coutan was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1905.[3] Coutan is best known in the United States for the sculptural group above the entrance to Grand Central Terminal in New York City. For Grand Central Terminal, Coutan was contracted to provide a quarter-size scale plaster model of the three-figure allegorical Transportation group, which he developed from 1911 through 1914. The carving was performed by the William Bradley & Son of Long Island City.[4] Among Coutan's students were Hippolyte Lefèbvre, Raymond...
