Pair of Renaissance Revival Gilt Bronze Covered Urns by Levillain
About the Item
This pair of urns are truly exquisite. Two scrolled handles terminate in centaur mascarons which lead the eye to the strong bulls on either side of each urn belly; signed 'Levillain'' on the back. Garlands of fruit, swans with outstretched wings, female mascarons , Putti and scroll forms framed by curling ribbons and festoon borders adorn the urns, all surmounted on four raised paw feet on a stepped circular base.
Levillain was a sculptor working in the mid to late 19th Century. He was known for his skilled metalwork, particularly in the medium of bronze. He became known as one of the premiere creators of bronze artworks, and worked from 1871, with the master bronzier of the French Belle Epoque, Ferdinand Barbedienne. Creating mainly Neo-Grec style, a form of Neoclassicism, he made his debut at the Paris Salon in 1861, before exhibiting at the 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris.

Ferdinand Levillain
Ferdinand Levillain had his debut at the Paris Salon in 1861 and won recognition through the 1860s and 1870s for his work with the highly respected Barbedienne. In 1878, he ceased his collaboration with Barbedienne and triumphed alone at the Exposition Universelle, where he won the gold medal for his work referencing Antiquity. In 1884, Levillain was awarded a first-class medal at the Salon and in 1889, a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle. In 1892, he was recognized with the highly prestigious Légion d'Honneur. Examples of his work are displayed in many museums, including the Musée de Lyon and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris. Levillain also collaborated with the Sèvres manufactory and won several medals, which are still visible today at the Louvre Museum and the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Angers.
