Pair of Patinated Bronze Egyptian Figures by Emile Louis Picault
About the Item
A Pair of Patinated Bronze Figures Of The Egyptian High Priest 'Pastophore' and The Egyptian Scribe 'Hierogrammate' By Emile Louis Picault (French, 1833-1915).
Each signed 'Picault'.
Gilt and patinated bronze. Red and black marble.
Made as part of a limited edition attributed to Georges Émile Henri Servant.
The figures of an Ancient Egyptian Priest and Scribe are cast in gilt and rich patinated bronze which highlights the contrast between skin and clothing. An added touch of opulence is given by the red marble elements to the vase and attribute that they hold.
A Pastophorus is a type of priest in ancient Egypt, responsible for carrying holy shrines in official ceremonies or processions. A Hierogrammat is a writer of sacred records especially in hieroglyphics.
Picault was a student of Louis Royer and exhibited a wide genre of sculpture at the Paris Salon from 1860 to 1909. His Egyptian figures, of Queens and Pharaohs and Priests and Priestesses, are amongst his most popular works. They follow in the tradition of ethnographic decorative sculpture in France during the late Nineteenth Century and the fashion for Egyptian subjects which followed Napoleon’s campaigns in the Nile delta. The overly ornate head-dresses, complicated pleats and accessories echo the romantic ideals of the late 19th century.
The fondeur and bronzier Georges Servant was recorded at 137, rue Vieille-du-Temple,
Paris. He specialized in the Greek and Egyptian Revival style and was a medallist at the
major international exhibitions between 1867 and 1887.
These figures of 'Pastophore' and 'Hierogrammate' were cast in two sizes. The present examples measuring 53 cm. high. A related pair are preserved collection of Aberystwyth University School of Art Museum and Galleries.
France, Circa 1880.

A Patinated Bronze Figure Of 'Peter Pan', By Sir George James Frampton
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
Sir George James Frampton (British, 1860-1928)
A Patinated Bronze Statue Of Peter Pan
Depicted playing the pipes and conducting with his right hand. Standing on a naturalistically cast base.
Signed 'G F' in a monogram and 'P P' in a roundel. Dated 1913.
England, Dated 1913.
Provenance:
Gerald Rufus Isaacs, 2nd Marquess of Reading (1889 –1960) and Eva Violet Mond Isaacs, Second Marchioness of Reading (1895–1973).
Thence by descent until sold in 1996.
The present charming statuette of Peter Pan, dated 1913, is an exceptionally fine and early reduction of the life-size bronze exhibited by Frampton at the Royal Academy in 1911. Barrie unveiled the statue in Kensington Gardens on 30 April 1912, without fanfare and without permission, so that it might appear to children that the fairies had put it in place overnight. He published a notice in The Times newspaper the following day, 1 May: "There is a surprise in store for the children who go to Kensington Gardens to feed the ducks in the Serpentine this morning. Down by the little bay on the south-western side of the tail of the Serpentine they will find a May-day gift by Mr J.M. Barrie, a figure of Peter Pan blowing his pipe on the stump of a tree, with fairies and mice and squirrels all around. It is the work of Sir George Frampton...
