Contemporary Glass Bonsai Hand Blown Sculpture Tree Nature Zen Calm Organic
Located in Camisano Vicentino, IT
Introducing an exquisite Hand-Blown Glass Sculpture representing a bonsai tree, masterfully crafted by the renowned Italian artist Simone Crestani. This stunning sculpture encapsulates the delicate beauty and profound symbolism of a bonsai, capturing the essence of nature in a timeless work of art.
"The bonsai is the symbol of my work; it is the art of giving form, with respect and full understanding of what I am taking care of. The bonsai is a concentration of life, it overcomes the barrier of size and expresses strength and energy; it is a work of art that is never finished, in which nature continues to develop and evolve. I shape the material, but the end result has an identity of its own. I help it to grow and wait until it gives me an indication of the equilibrium that will allow it to express itself. With the bonsai, I am always ready to start work again, to reach a new limit, to follow a new branch of thought. It is my work that grows, slowly, with exertion and wisdom, and each day gives me life and emotions."

A Life-Size Pair French Cast-Iron Torchères Sculptures Juggler & Serpent Charmer
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A Palatial Life-Size Pair of French 19th-20th Century Cast-Iron Torchères Sculpures figures of "Jongleur and Charmeur de Serpents" (Juggler and Snake-Charmer) After the model by Mathurin Moreau (French, 1822-1912), attributed to Le Societe Anonyme des Hauts-Fourneaux et Fonderies du Val D'Osne - 58 Boulevard Voltaire, Paris. The monumental pair of indoor or outdoor torchère lights, each torchère portrays a standing half-clothed black male engaging in traditional entertainment activities reflecting the cultural practices of the 19th century and early 20th century, one as a juggler and the other one as a snake charmer. The skill and cultural context of these impressive pair of sculptures add depth and charm highlighting the artistic technics, and the emotions being conveyed by each figure. The present pair of torchere are based on the engravings of Statues published by the celebrated sculptor, Mathurin Moreau (d. 1912). As their trade catalogues reveal, Moreau's oeuvre was extensively reproduced by the Val d'Osne foundry during the latter quarter of the 19th century (see photos of the Val d'Osne original catalogue). Established in 1835 by André, Val d'Osne was subsequently renamed Houille et Cie. in 1867 when taken over by Barbezat. By 1870, however, it was known as the Société Anonyme des Hautes Fourneaux & Fonderies du Val d'Osne, exhibiting its wares in a Paris showroom at Boulevard Voltaire. Unsigned. (Electrified). Circa: Paris, 1890-1900.
Note: Wood pedestals shown on video are not included.
Fonderies d'Art du Val d'Osne
Established in 1835 by J.P.V. André, the Fonderies d'Art du Val d'Osne was known for their high quality and extensive collection of cast-iron architectural designed sculptures created exclusively for Victor André by some of the most reputed and established Parisian sculptors like Carrier-Belleuse, Mathurin Moreau, Delaplanche and Pradier. The prolific firm Fonderies d'Art du Val d'Osne participated in numerous international exhibitions and was acclaimed at the 1857 London Exhibition with a monumental bronze fountain cast with swans and Classical figures. The firm was acquired by Barbezat & Cie. in 1867, and allying with the fondeur J.J. Ducel towards 1870, and was renamed Société Anonyme des Hauts-Fourneaux & Fonderies du Val-D'Osne, Anciennes maison J.P.V. André et J.J. Ducel et Fils...

Pair of French 19th Century Lifesize Cast-Iron Sculpture Torcheres, Val d'Osne
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. Signed/cast on each pedestal: “VAL D’OSNE”. (Electrified). Paris, circa 1870-1880.
Overall hHeight: 127 inches (322.6 cm)
Pedestal height: 39 inches (99.1 cm)
Indian man's width: 22 inches (55.9 cm)
Indian man's depth: 26 3/4 inches (68 cm)
Indian woman's width: 28 inches (71.1 cm)
Indian woman's depth: 25 inches (63.5 cm)
These fantastic and impressive pair of cast-iron sculptures, most likely representing Hiawatha and Minnehaha, were probably comissioned to Le Fonderies d'Art du Val d'Osne for export to the America's to decorate governmental buildings and parks which makes these pair a rare find and now available for a private collection. Iron sculptures were preferred over bronze for outdoor park and building decorations for their long lasting resistance to all types of weather conditions.
An identical pair of sculptures, also by Val d' Osne, are currently exhibited at the National Garden of Congress in Santiago, Chile. View Pages No. 87, 88, 89.
Another identical pair are also currently exhibited at The Musée de la Ville - Indian Museum "O Indio do Museo da Cidade" in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Pair of French 19th-20th Century Neoclassical Style Cast Iron Figural Torchères
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A very fine pair of French 19th-20th century neoclassical style patinated cast iron figural torchères by A. Durenne, Paris, each representing a figure of a standing young maiden, her arms raised forward while holding a a flaming urn gas light (Now electrified) with a frosted glass flame, each raised on a veined grey marble column stand, both cast-signed 'A. Durenne, Paris'. Antoine Durenne was an internationally renowned French art founder. He attended École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in 1842. Durenne purchased a small foundry in Sommevoire, near the Val d'Osne, Haute-Marne, France and established The Durenne firm, circa Paris, 1900.
Cast-iron had been in production during the 18th century but its inferior status to the more fashionable and delicate wrought iron had generally confined its use to architectural work. By the early 19th century, however, rapid developments of the Industrial Revolution combined with the simultaneous burgeoning of a new middle class provided the impetus for a dramatic Expansion in its application and in a short space of time a proliferation of iron foundries across Europe and America thrived on the production of everything from inkstands to railway stations. The use of cast-iron for garden ornament became particularly widespread at this time, as the possibilities for its mass-production at a fraction of the cost of bronze made it the material of choice for outdoor statuary...
