Bronze Sculpture With Container – Late 19th Century

Elegant patinated bronze sculpture dating from the late 19th century, depicting a putto standing upright and supporting above his head a lidded container, likely intended for decorative or functional use (bonbonnière, perfume holder, pot-pourri or similar).The work stands out for the high quality of its casting, the careful execution of anatomical and decorative details, and the presence of a well-preserved original dark patina. The classically inspired subject is enriched with vegetal elements and a softly flowing drapery that lends movement and elegance to the composition.The upper container, harmoniously integrated into the figure, features a decorated lid, stylistically and materially consistent with the rest of the sculpture. The circular base provides stability and balance to the overall form.A highly charming decorative object, ideal for classic or eclectic interiors, collections of decorative bronzes, or period furnishings.Period: Late 19th centuryMaterial: Patinated bronzeHeight: 28.5 cmBase diameter: 8 cmCondition: Excellent, with minor signs of age consistent with its period
