Gilt Madame Pompadour Sphinx

About the Item

Gilt Madame Pompadour or DuBarry Sphinx, France, circa late 19th Century - Early 20th Century. This could be a depiction of either Madame Pompadour or Madame DuBarry, who were both mistresses to Louis XV, and often had their likenesses depicted atop the robed body of a sphinx. We are unsure what this sphinx is constructed of, possibly an early form of resin, which was injection molded as early as the late 1800s. This item is ideal for decorating as it weighs no more than 30 pounds and can be easily placed on consoles, chests, or other furniture without worry. We have seen examples of these used outdoors in gardens, but we recommend indoor use, as gilt surfaces often degrade if left outside in the weather.
