Artist: Charles Cumberworth 1811-1852
Charles CUMBERWORTH (FRENCH, 1811-1852), Cléopatre et Lesbie, sculpture in bronze black patina, on a bleu turquin marble base, signed right "Cumberworth Sculpt" and left "L.Marchand"
This rare model was likely that shown by the founder Léon Marchand at the International Exhibition of 1862 in London. Despite its seeming popularity, however, few bronzes of this scale are known. The Parisian founder, Marchand, was renowned for both his bronzes d’art and bronzes d’ameublement, and created this figural group from the mid-19th century, in smaller editions – including one measuring 40 cm. high – some of which were incorporated into sumptuous clock garnitures which fully expressed the grand taste of the era.
