Caricatured 19th Century Candlestick

Beautiful patinated bronze in the taste of the characters of the high period of a beggar cul-de-jatte on his seat moving with the help of sticks, a small work of art very realistic. This grizzled character, with his hooked nose and drooping beard, is in the spirit of Daumier and could be his creation. A very realistic creature from ancient times, his hat hollowed out like a candlestick. This beautiful lost-wax piece is unsigned and deserves your attention, as it could reveal some surprises. Its iconoclastic aspect places it in the category of singular objects of high curiosity with an assertive character. The quality of this incredible piece points to a talented artist, inspired to create such a creature, as the French 19th century was able to generate, with a concern for the unusual and caricatural characters of the past. A well-preserved collector's item...Avis
