Description

This lovely little bronze of a little bird possibly a Sparrow is alive with animation in its form, with the spread of its wings the turn of the head and its open beak, and it is so finely cast with wonderful detail in the feathers some lying smooth on his body others raised around his neck. And this little guy is a survivor for at some point in his life he has been broken off from his original base, but understandably he was just too beautiful and too fine not to restore, hence his feet are now implanted in a simple square wooden base which allows him to stand and be admired perfectly. The bronze would date I believe to the Victorian era circa 1870 and I have a feeling it could be French as there were a collection of fine artists such as Ferdinand Pautrot, Louis Theophile Hinge and Paul Comlera who embraced the study of animals and birds around them in their natural habitat. And it is lovely when the light catches the bronze as there are traces of gold that are highlighted from the original gilt it must once of had.

AGE - Circa 1870

CONDITION - As I have already mentioned above this darling little bird has been given a new life with the wooden block it now sits in and I have to say it feels very stable in this base, I do wonder when this was done as the glue around his feet appears to be brown making me think the glue was old, but it could be that the bronze has discoloured the glue. Apart from this the bronze is in very good condition with a beautiful patina and a lovely highlighting from the worn gilt.
