Joseph-Michel-Ange Pollet born in Palermo on March 11, 1814 and died in Paris on January 1, 18711 is a French sculptor. Born in Palermo to French parents, Joseph-Michel-Ange Pollet studied sculpture in Italy with Bertel Thorwaldsen, Valerio Villareale and Pietro Tenerani. He came to Paris in 1836, then stayed in Ghent in 1838. After another stay in Italy from 1843 to 1845, he settled permanently in Paris and exhibited for the first time at the Salon of 1846. He won a medal of third class in 1847, a second class medal in 1848 and a first class medal in 1851. In 1855 he was awarded a second class medal at the Universal Exhibition. He was named Knight of the Legion of Honor by decree of June 14, 18563. Of neoclassical formation, the work of Pollet oscillates between this current and that of romanticism. In 1840, for the bicentenary of his death, he produced the bust of Rubens, the original plaster of which is kept at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. In 1848, he presented at the Salon a large plaster statue...

A charming French alabaster sculpture created in France during the late 19th century, this delightful work depicts a monkey quietly smoking a pipe, blending humor, craftsmanship, and remarkable naturalism. Animalier subjects enjoyed great popularity during the Belle Époque, and this sculpture perfectly captures the era's fascination with expressive animals rendered with lifelike detail and refined artistic quality. Expertly carved from fine alabaster, the sculpture features beautifully modeled fur, expressive facial features, and a relaxed pose that gives the monkey an unmistakable sense of personality. The realistic glass eyes bring the figure to life, creating an engaging focal point that reflects the exceptional attention to detail characteristic of French sculptors of the period. The warm tones and translucent quality of the alabaster further enhance the elegance and sculptural depth of the composition. Measuring 9.8 inches high (25 cm), 6.7 inches wide (17 cm), and 4.4 inches deep (11.2 cm), this sculpture is perfectly sized for display on a desk, library shelf, mantel, or cabinet. It remains in good antique condition, with only minor scratches and small chips to the base that are consistent with its age and do not detract from its overall beauty or decorative appeal. Whimsical animal sculptures...

Standing over 2 feet tall, these high quality bronze statues depict soldiers during the French revolutionary wars. They are labeled and signed Dumaige (French sculptor, Etienne-Henry Dumaige 1830-1888). The statues show incredible detail, excellent proportion, and retain their original, rich, brown patina, which is still in remarkable condition. Each solider has a raised brass placard on the front of the 1 ½” thick square bases: one reads Avant le combat volontaire de 1792 par Dumaige, H.C, while the other is titled “Apres le combat grenadier de 1792 par Dumaige, H.C.”. The designation “H.C.” stands for Hors concours (“standout”), which is used for artwork that is excluded from competition because it has already claimed top honors elsewhere. Avant, meaning “before” shows our soldier as a volunteer drummer. Drums were used on the battlefield not only to provide cadence for the soldiers, but also to issue orders based on the percussion pattern. Here, our soldier’s drum is attached to a harness that runs across his right shoulder. Both hands are gripping the frame of the drum, while there is a drumstick in his left hand. There is a satchel on the soldier’s back as he stands on grass with a small wood fence behind him. Our soldier has a mustache with long braided hair in the back. He is wearing a fluted bicorne with a pomme tuft and has earrings in both ears. His jacket is knee-length in the back, with tasseled epaulets on the shoulders. Apres, meaning “after”, depicts the man as a grenadier, enjoying tobacco after a conflict. The grenadier...
