About the Item

A very rare and beautifully cast late 19th century bronze by Maurice Constant Favre (1875-1915), titled " Mutualite" depicting two bare chested muscular blacksmiths, an older stockier master blacksmith standing, looking down and facing a younger journeyman apprentice blacksmith sitting on the anvil and looking up to the older blacksmith. In the scene the older blacksmith is clasping one hand of his younger protege in a handshake. He is also reaching down to grab the younger blacksmith's other hand but the latter seems to holding his hand back close to his chest rather than reaching out to hold his master's other hand. The bronze is signed on the side of the base Maurice Constant Favre. and has a stamp hat says "2me Medaille Au Salon" which means it was awarded the second prize in the Paris salon. The bronze sits on a green marble base. On the front of the base there are two brass plaques the top gives the title and the name of the sculptor of the bronze "Mutualite" Par Mr C.,T Favre . The bottom one on the green marble base more or less says who owned the statue viz: "Les Mutiualistes de L"Arrondt De Mezieres MT 'Arnoux" . As well inscribed below the above is " Chevalier De Legion D'Honnuer" This is speculative but the bronze may have been given to a member of a "Mutualiste Society" in one of the districts of of Paris and who was also a Knight of the highly prestigious "Legion D'honnuer " The artist was born in Paris in 1875 and died there in 1915 at the age of 40. So his body of work is small and his bronzes rare. He was both a sculptor and a metal engraver and participated in the Paris salon from 1896 to 1914. His most popular and frequently seen work is that of a crusader knight titled Le Preux. Not much else is known about him or his achievements.

A Patinated Bronze Statue of a Seated Greek Scholar signed Moreau

By Mathurin Moreau

Located in Vancouver, British Columbia

A patinated cast bronze statue of a classically draped Greek scholar sitting sideways on a Klismos chair with the trademark griphons as front leg supports, the subject holding a pen in his right hand and an open scroll on the other left signed "Moreau" inscribed on one side of the chair. There are no visible foundry marks. Presumably the signature stands for Mathurin Moreau, a 19 Century French sculptor born 1822, and son of noted sculptor Jean Baptiste Moreau. In 1841, the 19 year old Mathirin entered the École des Beaux Arts in Paris and, the following year, won the Second Grand Prix de Rome with his sculpture Diodemus removing the Palladium. Several of his works remain on public display in Paris, among them on the facade of the Gare du Nord...
