About the Item

A beautiful French Empire revival patinated bronze sculptural table lamp of The Three Graces, after Canova and dating from the late 19th century. Three Graces standing on a cylindrical column applied with further classical figures and raised on a hexagonal plinth, later adapted for electricity. This high quality hot cast solid bronze was produced using the traditional "lost wax" process, otherwise known as the "cire perdue" method. Condition: In really excellent condition, please see photos for confirmation. Dimensions in cm: Height 53 cm x Width 18 cm x Depth 18 cm Weight 5.4 kg Dimensions in inches: Height 1 foot, 9 inches x Width 7 inches x Depth 7 inches Weight 11.9 lbs Antonio Canova’s statue The Three Graces is a Neoclassical sculpture, in marble, of the mythological three charities, daughters of Zeus – identified on some engravings of the statue as, from left to right, Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia - who were said to represent youth/beauty (Thalia), mirth (Euphrosyne), and elegance (Aglaea). The Graces presided over banquets and gatherings, to delight the guests of the gods. As such they have served as subjects for historical artists including Sandro Botticelli and Bertel Thorvaldsen. A version of the sculpture is in the Hermitage Museum, another is owned jointly and exhibited in turn by the Victoria and Albert Museum and the National Galleries of Scotland. Lost Wax Method sometimes called by the French name of cire perdue or the Latin, cera perduta is the process by which a bronze or brass is cast from an artists sculpture. In industrial uses, the modern process is called investment casting. An ancient practice, the process today varies from foundry to foundry, but the steps which are usually used in casting small bronze sculptures in a modern bronze foundry are generally quite standardised.
