"A Votre Sante, " Rare Relief Plaque by Grafly, 1893

About the Item

Extraordinarily rare, this bronze sculptural plaque -- full of whimsy and pixieish charm -- was created by Charles Grafly, one of America's leading sculptors at the turn of the century. Grafly created the Fountain of Men, an allegorical depiction of the five senses, for the Pan American Exposition in 1901, and representations of France and England for the landmark Custom's House in New York. However, Grafly is best known for his portraits of leading male figures in civic affairs. This plaque, with a Midsummer's Night's Dream quality, may have been done for a major event sponsored by a social club in 1893.
