Masterpiece By A 19th-century Marble And Stonemason: Neoclassical Town Fountain With A Swan
Artist: Non Signée
An exceptional piece—the word is justified for this beautiful and elegant architectural masterpiece in the purest Louis XV style—it elegantly represents a large park or town fountain in limestone and marbles of varying shades; a facade with Corinthian columns surmounted by a rich attic pediment and a beautiful niche with radiating, masonry stones, containing a fountain with outstretched wings of a silver swan on a conglomerate of stalactite flows, a generous basin itself overflowing into a pool paved with pink and white marble tiles; at the front, between the entablatures, a gallery of turned marble balusters surrounded by offering vases. A rare and rich piece in its neoclassical representation, a proud and distinguished "Cabinet of Curiosities," a rarity in 18th-century ornamental art.
