Italian Grand Tour Bronze “Porcellino” Boar After Pietro Tacca, Florence, Late 19th Century A finely cast Italian Grand Tour bronze reduction of the celebrated Florentine “Porcellino,” after the 17th-century model by Pietro Tacca, itself inspired by an ancient Roman copy of a Hellenistic Greek boar. This cabinet-scale sculpture captures the animal in a poised, alert stance, its head lowered and body subtly tensed, conveying both naturalism and latent energy. The surface is richly worked with deeply chased, rhythmic striations to suggest the boar’s coarse hide, highlighted by warm golden undertones and areas of natural verdigris, enhancing depth and visual movement. The figure rests on an integral naturalistic plinth, echoing the marshy base of the Florentine original...

Miniature in solid 800 silver reproducing D'Artagnan The miniature was made of solid silver with the fusion technique and subsequently finished with a chisel.

Marble base By Geca Silversmith - MIlan - Italy for ARVAL ARGENTI VALENZA Silver statuette representing Charles de Batz-Castelmore, comte d'Artagnan. In 1630, aged about 20, he went to Paris to join the French Guards on the recommendation of a relative of his mother, the lord of Tréville, who also appears in Dumas' novels as his protector . It was at this time that the young Charles decided to adopt the surname d'Artagnan, that of his mother's family. The paternal branch in fact belonged to the bourgeoisie, and Charles preferred to use the surname that would have given him more prestige. Thus it was that the royal d'Artagnan did 15 years of military service until Cardinal Mazarin...
