Orientalist Sculpture Of A Nubian In Dark Patina Bronze
Sculpture in dark patina bronze depicting a Nubian, dressed in the manner of a page or servant, holding a cup that doubles as a pouch-drainer.
The finely treated figure stands on an architectural marble base, embellished with decorative fillets and resting on rocaille-style gilded bronze feet.
This type of object, both decorative and utilitarian, is in keeping with the orientalist taste of the 19th century, much appreciated in bourgeois interiors as a pocket scoop, card holder or small display stand.
Beautiful quality of casting and chasing, with a homogeneous antique patina.
