Pair of Putti in Bronze – 2nd half of the 19th century

This charming pair of brown-patinated bronze putti embodies the refined decorative spirit of the 19th century, an era in which art drew freely on classical models to produce sensitive and elegant reinterpretations.
Each finely chiselled figure depicts a young putto kneeling, the torso gently turned in a lively and graceful pose. The delicately modelled facial features and curling hair bear witness to particularly accomplished sculptural work. The drapery, rendered with suppleness, lends a sense of movement and softness to the overall composition.
The putti rest on solid black marble pedestals. A gilt beaded band highlights the centre of each base, adding a note of preciousness and a luminous contrast to striking effect.
Decorative pieces of real character, these bronzes will form a harmonious pair on a console, a desk or within a vitrine, and will appeal equally to lovers of 19th-century objets d'art and to collectors of classically inspired sculpture.
