Bronze Sculpture "IMPERIAL FRENCH CUIRASSIER 1804" - Italian mid 19th Century
Located in TEYJAT, FR
Impressive Bronze Sculpture - "Imperial French Cuirassier 1804" mid 19th Century.
A beautifully detailed bronze sculpture of a soldier mounted on his horse bearing the insignia of Napoleon with silver and gold gilt and polychrome patina. On an onyx base (some small losses and chips).
Plate mentioning "Corazziere Imperiale Francia 1804 64/200". This piece is a limited edition and numbered 64 out of 200 made.
The phrase "Corazziere Imperiale Francia 1804" appears to be Italian. It translates to "Imperial French Cuirassier 1804" in English. Cuirassiers were heavy cavalry units in European armies, and "Imperial French Cuirassier" refers to a specific type of cavalryman serving in the French Imperial Army during the Napoleonic era, particularly around the year 1804 when Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned Emperor of the French. The Imperial Guard...

Antique, Rare & Decorative Pair of Hand Carved and Hand Painted Horse Sculptures
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning and unique pair of matching horse sculptures.
With a combined experience of almost 30 years in the antiques trade, we were thrilled to once again find beautifully hand-crafted and decorative antiques that we had never seen before. From the density and the weight we can see and feel that these highly decorative horse sculptures are made of a tropical hardwood. Like, for example, with antique mirror frames or church sculptures these horses too were first covered with a mixture of chalk and glue so that the paint would hold longer. And, as so often is the case with antiques, the colors that were used for painting these horses are so much more beautiful than anything you find in this day and age that they truly are an absolute joy to look at. From the colors, the wear, the materials and the techniques that were used to create these horses we can see that these are 19th century antiques. However and unfortunately we lack the knowledge to be able to tell you from which country these highly decorative and sizeable works of art originate. We just can't find matching style horse sculptures anywhere on the worldwide web. They could be Chinese or Nepalese, but they could also be Persian or Arabian. We just have not been able to find out. What we do know is that they are definitely antique, they are in beautiful condition (with some wear, consistent with their age), they are highly decorative, probably unique and they have a look and feel that will instantly change the atmosphere of the room they are in.
Mind you, our sharp price for this wonderful pair of horse sculptures...

19th Century German Pair of Sculptures in Zinc by Philipp Konrad Moritz Geiss
By Philipp Konrad Moritz Geiss
Located in West Palm Beach, FL
A pair of antique German garden or fountain sculptures in a laying position (male and female) made of hand crafted cast zinc, designed and produced by Philipp Konrad Moritz Geiss, in good condition. These ornaments are probably the final element of a Tympanum group, particularized in white oil mount with gold heightened details, enhanced by detailed moulding. Right hand of the male is missing, due to age. Includes the pair of custom made white pedestals in wood. Minor fading, scratches due to age. Wear consistent with age and use. Circa 1840 - 1850, Berlin, Germany.
Male: 23" H x 39.5" W x 13.75" D
Female: 21" H x 39.5" W x 13.25" D
Tympanum comes from the Greek and Latin words, it means drum. It is the semi-circular or triangular decorative wall surface over an entrance door or window, which is surrounded by a lintel (structural horizontal block) and an arch. A tympanum often includes sculptures or ornaments. Tympana was often used in the Ancient Greek, Roman and Christian architecture.
Philipp Konrad Moritz Geiß was a German iron and zinc caster, born in 1805, in Berlin, Germany and passed away in 1875. After his high school, he joined the Royal Commercial Institute in Berlin to improve his hand work skill. During his studies, had an internship in the Silesian iron...

Very Large 19th Century North-Western Indian Carved Wood Totem Pole

This very rare Pole measures 8" in diameter and stands 7.5 feet tall. This is one of the rare historic Totem pole that survived the late 19th century ban of Totem poles. Nearly all Totem-pole-making had ceased by 1901. Carving of monumental and mortuary poles continued in some, more remote villages as late as 1905; however, as the original sites were abandoned, the poles and timber homes were left to decay and vandalism. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, before the passage of the American Indian Religious...

Neo Classical Plaster Italian Sculpture of a Hand
Located in Catania, Sicilia
This is a Neoclassical Revival Italian plaster sculpture depicting a realistically rendered hand, signed and dated Rome, 25 Agosto 1857. The piece is a fine example of mid-19th century academic craftsmanship, capturing the elegance and anatomical precision characteristic of the Neoclassical style, which was heavily influenced by ancient Roman and Greek art.
The hand is sculpted with incredible attention to detail from the gentle curvature of the fingers to the subtle articulation of the knuckles and fingernails. The plaster surface has a softly textured, matte finish, evoking the look of marble and lending the piece a timeless, classical feel.
This sculpture was intended as a study model or academic cast, often used in art schools or ateliers of the time to teach drawing and sculpting from classical forms. The handwritten inscription of the date and location adds a personal and historical touch, anchoring it to a specific moment in 19th-century Rome —a hub of Neoclassical art and study during that period.
It’s both a decorative object and a historical artifact, perfect for collectors of classical art, academic studies, or antique plaster casts.

He is dressed in gracefully draped robes and wears a tall crown bearing a minuscule figure of Amida, the Buddha of Infinite Light.
