ABOUT
Dubucand Hare
Alfred Dubucand (25 November 1828 – 1894) Dubucand was born in Paris and was a French animalier sculptor of the 19th century. His works were often entered into the annual Salon art exhibition in Paris where he contributed works over the course of his career. He was one of the prize pupils of Antoine-Louis Barye. Dubucand made his debut at the 1867 Salon with a wax model of a dead pheasant, a rather inauspicious start when considering the higher quality sculptures he would submit later in his career. He modelled mainly animal groups, producing a number of deer, dog, and horse sculptures. His better casts feature a warm, mid-brown patination, sometimes coming in even lighter shades bordering on a very light yellow, being nearly the colour of the bronze metal itself. He frequently experimented with chemical patinas, learning the patination process from his teacher and mentor Barye who stretched the boundary with his now famous dark green patinas. Dubucand paid strict attention to the anatomical detail of his subjects, often being so concise that he actually showed the veins in the legs of his deer and elk sculptures...

Austrian Cold Painted Bronze Horse Franz Bergman (Att.)
Located in Newark, England
Big Brown Stallion upon a onyx plinth
From our Sculpture collection, we are delighted to offer this Austrian Cold Painted Bronze Horse. The Bronze mounted upon a squared green onyx base with a convex beading border. The horse beautifully cast with naturalistic features modelled as a big brown stallion inclusive of its brown to black hue. The horse stamped to the belly Geschutzt with the registration mark 2740. We firmly attribute the Austrian Bronze to Franz Bergman and date it to the late 19th century circa 1890.
Franz Xavier Bergman (1861-1936) was the owner of a Viennese foundry who produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronzes with a range of subjects such as oriental, erotic, and animal figures. He was probably the most famous Austrian bronze foundry who is widely recognised for smaller cold painted bronzes with an extremely good attention to detail. Signed often with a ‘B’ or Bergman and a registration mark.
Geschutzt often stamped or printed it is pronounced “guess-shutst.” It is an abbreviation of the term gesetzlich geschutt which is a German phrase that translates as legally protected or in other words copywriter. It bares is a similar meaning to the English word Patented or French Depose...

XL Antique Alabaster Chandelier / Pendant w. Bronze Ram Sculptures & Rose Shades
Located in Lisse, NL
Majestic antique pendant with a stunning, 20 inch alabaster shade and two sets of glass shades.
Thanks to its unique design, its impressive size and its truly excellent condition this six-light alabaster chandelier will light up both your days and evenings, both in summer and winter time. This antique light fixture could not be more original and it even comes with a set of three near-transparent glass roses shades AND a set of three amberish color glass roses shades (matching the alabaster). So you can always choose the type of glass rose shades that you think are best for the occasion, season etc. The superb condition, colorful, extra large and deep alabaster shade combined with the equally excellent glass roses are a match made in heaven. However, what takes this chandelier to the next level are the three large and gilt bronze ram sculptures at each of the three suspension points. May these meaningful symbols for determination, power and leadership inspire their new owner(s) to reach for the stars and beyond. The black veins combined with other color veins and patches in this natural mineral stone shade contrast even more beautiful when the light is switched on, because the already marvelous colorful alabaster then turns into an even warmer spectacle of colors. We could shoot a hundred photos, but you still would not be able to see the true beauty of this impressive chandelier. The unique patterns inside this hand carved shade are the work of mother nature herself and the light brings them out in their true glory. In real life our antiques always have that little bit extra and this stunning pendant is all but an exception to that rule. You can, again, take our word for it. The original and heavy gilt bronze chain and the stunning and large, gilt bronze canopy are like the icing on the cake of this incredibly rich chandelier. If you have also noticed the double rose pattern on each of the gilt bronze shackles then you must agree that whomever had this chandelier made clearly spared no expenses. And to give you an even better idea of the quality, the gilt bronze canopy alone weighs over 11 pounds lbs.
To find this majestic chandelier in such excellent condition made our day, week and month and we are proud to be able to offer it to our 1stdibs clientele first. For our photos of this six-light chandelier we used three 75 watt bulbs inside the shade and one 60 watt bulb in each of the rose shades. This chandelier, however, will easily take three times 100 watts inside the shade and also easily 80 watts in each of the glass rose...

Dimensions: Height: 2 in Width: 3 in Depth: 2.25 in.
About the Scarab in ancient Egypt: The scarab beetle held significant cultural, religious, and symbolic importance. The scarab beetle, also known as the dung beetle, played a central role in Egyptian mythology and daily life. Here are some key aspects of the scarab beetle beliefs in ancient Egypt:
1) Symbol of regeneration and rebirth: The scarab beetle was associated with the concept of regeneration and rebirth. This connection was primarily observed in the insect's behavior of rolling balls of dung in which it laid its eggs. Egyptians saw parallels between this process and the sun god Ra's daily journey across the sky, disappearing at night and re-emerging in the morning.
2) Representation of the sun god Ra: The scarab beetle became a symbol for the sun god Ra, who was one of the most important deities in the Egyptian pantheon. The rolling of the dung ball by the beetle was likened to Ra's journey across the sky, and amulets in the shape of scarabs were often worn as protective charms.
3) Protective amulets and jewelry: Scarab beetles were popular motifs in ancient Egyptian jewelry...
