About the Item

A large and important late 19th century bronze sculpture of a woman by Louis Gossin The scantily clad woman holding lilies above her head. Signed Fondu Par Le Vald ‘Osne 58 boul a Voltaire Paris Louis Gossin Louis Gossin was a French visual artist who was born in 1846. He was a top student of Mathurin Moreau that exhibited a number of works at the Salon starting is 1877. His sculptures were both in bronze and marble. He died in 1928. The firm Val D’Osne, opened in 1836 by Jean-Pierre Victor Andre. The company participated in many exhibitions, and was awarded a number of medals, including a grand medal at one of the exhibitions. The company was known for its quality of work and the value of these antiques continue to rise. A frequent participant at the international exhibitions during the second half of the 19th century, the prolific firm of Val d’Osne, established by J.P.V. Andre in 1835, was known for their extensive inventory of architectural designs and ‘fancy castings’. Reputed scuptors like Carrier-Belleuse, Mathurin Moreau, Pradier and Delaplanche created numerous models exclusively for Victor Andre´. The firm met critical acclaim at the 1857 London Exhibition with a monumental bronze fountain cast with swans and Classical figures. Acquired by Barbezat & Cie in 1867, and allying with the fondeur J.J. Ducel towards 1870, the company was eventually renamed Socie´te´ Anonyme des Hauts-Fourneaux & Fonderies du Val-D’Osne, Anciennes maison J.P.V. Andre´ et J.J. Ducel et Fils. The most celebrated work or art cast by the firm would be irrefutably the Parisian subway entrances designed by Hector Guimard.

By Val D'Osne Foundry

Located in Los Angeles, CA

A superb quality and palatial pair of French 19th century lifesize cast-iron sculptures - torcheres of Native American Indians titled "L’ Indienne" designed by Jules Salmson (French, 1823-1902) and Cast by Le Fonderies d'Art du Val d'Osne, each standing figure representing a Native American Indian male and a female scantily dressed in their native robes, one arm raised holding a light-torch with an opaline glass globe, both wearing earrings, seashell necklaces and arm-braces, raised on cylindrical cast-iron stand.
