About the Item
Set of four antique ormolu roundels by Mathurin Moreau
French, Late 19th Century
Height 3cm, diameter 44cm
This set of four sculptural panels is crafted by the renowned French metalworker Mathurin Moreau (1822-1912). From a family of sculptors, Moreau is known for his lifelike bronzes cast in the Academic style.
Each circular plaque features a high-relief frieze of putti, surrounded by a raised border. Each plaque depicts a different scene of a trio of putti; the cherubs can be seen riding mythical birds and fish, forging weapons, and harvesting crops. The scenography is typical of the 19th century Neoclassical style, which often depicted mischievous or charming cherubs in natural settings. The figures are crafted in the impressive high-relief style Moreau is known for, standing out against the shallower backdrops.
Each roundel is signed ‘Math. Moreau’ along the lower border.
With their impressive craftsmanship and undeniable charm, this set of bronzes would undoubtedly make a fine addition to any collection of antiques.
