About the Item

This is a wonderful pair of French bronzes, Lorenzo di' Piero de' Medici also known as Lorenzo the Magnificent, and his younger brother Giuliano. Lorenzo is the larger of the two figures measuring 8.3" in height and 3.7" wide, and 3.4" deep, Giuliano is 8" high and 2.7" wide and 3.2" deep. Both are modelled opposing, seated, and clad in armor. These bronzes are from the 19th century, but from differing parts of the century. The model of Lorenzo is late 19th century, and the quality of the casting is good but not as good as that of Giuliano who would appear to be from the mid part of the 19th century. They make a good companion pair, but did not form part of the same casting run, and have been later paired up. Both have great coloring, with a similar dark brown and green patina. Provenance: These were part of the Fulwood Collection The Fulwood Collection comes from a Grade II listed rectory in the North of England. Formerly the childhood home of Sir Douglas Bader. The rectory was acquired by the late owner approximately 15 years ago. The house was formerly split into two separate houses, and with care he lovingly refurbished it back into a single house and refurnished in a blend of the Grand Tour style with Welsh and English provincial tastes. This property contained fine furniture, works of art, paintings, ceramics and other miscellaneous items some of which have been purchased by  “The Englishman’s Antiques”
