"Lovely Group In Patinated Bronze Double Patina Golden And Silver Sculpture Inkwell And Pyrogen 19th Century"
Lovely bronze group with an inkwell whose lid reveals its glass cup, the pen holder represented by a hollow stump, a pyrogen match holder and the scraper at the back. Double golden and silver patina. A charming subject with this little fisherman with a stick in his hand at the edge of the river holding a fish which he is about to place in his already full basket, a basket which allows the lid of the inkwell to be opened with ease. At the back, the scraper, gorse and reeds form the match holder completed by a rustic barrier. He can act as a bouqueter for very small flowers. Charming ! A very beautiful, meticulously executed carving and an abundance of very realistic details: see the river at the foot of the little fisherman, nicely carved and coated with a silver patina representing the water, the clothing moving in the wind, the carving of the hat imitating the famous Italian straw, the face, the bust as well as the arms and legs with a silver patina. The object is complete with its delicate old glass bucket. Dimensions: 12.5 cm x 8 cm and 8.7 cm high Weight: 600 g Whether you are a fan of writing or tobacco objects or none of that, an adorable object that will appeal to you! Good condition. No shortage, no shock. Beautiful patina of time. Traces of oxidation and ink. The lid of the inkwell has a little play.
