About the Item

This exquisite 19th century French bronze Putto captures the spirit of classical ornamentation and Romantic artistry. Cast in high relief, the oval plaque features a central figure of a winged putto, a chubby, cherubic child often seen in Renaissance and Baroque iconography, standing amidst a sumptuous arrangement of scrolling acanthus leaves and botanical flourishes. The putto, with finely modeled wings and delicate facial features, exudes an air of innocence and serenity. His pose, with arms gently outstretched and hair softly curled, evokes a sense of gentle movement, framed by undulating vegetal motifs that are both elegant and exuberant. At the base of the composition, a cornucopia overflows with fruits and flowers, symbolizing abundance and prosperity, a common theme in decorative arts of the era. The surface of the bronze has developed a warm, aged patina that enhances the sculptural depth and emphasizes the intricate detailing throughout. The plaque is mounted with a discreet loop at the top for wall display and would make a refined addition to any collection of antique decorative arts. Whether as a focal point in a neoclassical interior or a complement to a gallery wall, this rare bronze panel celebrates the timeless beauty of 19th century French craftsmanship
