True Pair of French 19th Century Cast Iron Statues of Two Young Boys

About the Item

A beautiful and very high quality true pair of French 19th century cast iron statues of two young boys playing flutes signed A. Durenne sommevoire. Each statue is raised by a circular base and depicts charming young boys joyously dancing and skipping while playing flutes. One is draped in a wonderfully executed flowing fabric and the other in a finely detailed grape vine with leaves. Wonderful original rich patina throughout. Antoine Durenne (1822 - 1895) Was an internationally renowned French art founder. He attended l’École 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. By the 1860s, numerous examples of high quality bas-reliefs, fountains, statues and vases were being produced and the firm began exhibiting at various exhibitions, including the 1862 and 1867 International Exhibitions in Paris. Antoine Durenne was a founding member of the l’École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs. In 1888 the foundry acquired the address of S.A.d.F. du Val d'Osne, 26 Rue du Faubourg Poissonniere, Paris.
