English Reproduction of La Baigneuse or Venus Bathing
$5,600.0065"H x 18"W x 23"D
Dimensions: 65” H x 18” W x 23” D
English, early 20th century or late 19th century reproduction of the masterpiece “La Baigneuse” (Venus Emerging from the Bath) inspired after a circa 1767 work by Christophe-Gabriel Allegrain which the original now lives at the Louvre in Paris. Even his version bears a strong resemblance to a Renaissance work from the 16th century by Giambologna, so it is remarkable that such an image to symbolize beauty continues to inspire nearly 500 years later. This statue is cast, reconstituted stone that once graced a garden. Note the dark patina from exposure to the elements shrouding her bare shoulders while the gathered fabric she dries herself with is still mostly white, underscoring her association with love, fertility, and desire.

French Vintage Reproduction Parthenon Frieze Panel
$5,800.0042.25"H x 59.38"W x 4"D
Dimensions: 42 ¼” H x 59 ⅜” W x 4” D
The Parthenon, that postcard image from the Acropolis of Athens, Greece, was once a great temple of white marble and a staggering program of sculptures from floor to ceiling to enhance the architecture. Built in the 5th century BCE for the goddess Athena, the structure is mostly in ruins now with its treasures lost, looted, or held in the collections of major museums. This relief is a 20th century French reproduction by the Atelier de Moulage du Louvre, the plaster casting workshop at the Louvre in Paris, of one section of the pictorial frieze that wrapped around the interior structure. Originally this frieze measured over 500 linear feet, telling a narrative about a procession toward the Acropolis involving many distinct characters, these two horsemen included. In this particular frame two men on horseback make their way to the temple, note the animal hide draped on the rider to the right side with two clawed feet waving as they gallop along. Stamped on the left-facing edge by the Atelier de Moulage du Louvre. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition.
French and Austrian 19th Century Set of Three Small Busts

Dimensions: 9” H x 5 ⅝” W x 4” D
An assortment of European 19th century small busts in bronze and alabaster by notable artists to populate a desk or bookshelf. The largest bust, cast in bronze, depicts the 19th century French politician Odilon-Barrot who led the council of ministers under Louis Philippe. An inscription on the back indicates this was presented to Coulon Architects in 1839 by Mrs. Odilon-Barrot. The second bust in bronze (with copper finish) honors a distinguished general in his military uniform. It is signed and dated “Devaulx 1859” by the sculptor Francois Devaulx. The third bust, carved from alabaster and signed “Petri” (for Otto Petri) uses the warmth of the creamy white stone to capture the youthful innocence of the boy subject. Alphanumeric markings are also carved into the base of the alabaster, with a coin underneath for the Goldscheider foundry of Vienna, Austria. Please note that the boy’s neck shows a faint line from being repaired after a previous injury. View the detailed images to see more of this trio of busts, sold as a set.
