Large Gogotte With Anthropomorphic And Biomorphic Forms

IMPORTANT GOGOTTE DE FONTAINEBLEAU WITH ONIRIQUE FORMS

Exceptional Fontainebleau gogotte in siliceous sandstone, featuring a remarkable development of natural concretions with free, suggestive forms.

This spectacular geological formation reveals, depending on the angle of observation, a succession of silhouettes, faces and organic evocations that give it an almost sculptural character. A veritable work of nature shaped by millions of years of geological phenomena, it bears witness to the slow agglomeration of Fontainebleau sands under the action of circulating siliceous water.

Old curiosity cabinet provenance.

Mounted on its antique wooden base, it retains a beautiful patina of age. The quality of its volumes, its overall balance, as well as the richness of its natural configurations, make it a particularly decorative and sought-after piece.

Many of the gogottes in this collection are made of wood.

The most spectacular gogottes were once collected by natural history enthusiasts, cabinets of curiosities and then the great decorators. Exemplars of this size and quality remain relatively rare on the market.

A marvellous piece of craftsmanship.

A wonder of nature with almost surreal shapes.
