Our Lions couple, dating from the late 18th. Century, or from the first years of 19th, under our Napoleon reign, is finely hand carved in a fine white soft marble or hard alabaster, lightly veined. On base, a rectangular gris Sainte Anne French marble plaque. Our pair, is an antique sculpted masterpiece, very decorative, in a stunning design. This is a high quality late 18th century miniature, painted on ivory, in a wonderful ormoulu frame of the period.
Condition is without flaws of use or wear to reproach.
A two sided bronze sculpture, with on one face Bacchus himself, and on the other face a pretty Bacchante figure. Solidly fixed on the wood turned base with a beautiful apparent screw, this curious figure has the arms in working order to move lightly, and turn. So, Bacchus can hide his glass to the young Bacchante. French work, early 18th Century, very finely chiselled, in a good condition, and in its original dark patina. We think it was used as a door handle, or a furniture ornament.
