This French Second Empire sculpture depicts a silvered bronze female figure dancing with two cherubs, raised upon a stepped circular base finished in gilt brass. The central mother wears classical draped garments held by a belt, while raising her arms above her head to lift fabric, and the two accompanying cherubs hold a tambourine and a small instrument while playing in motion. The metallic surfaces show varied ageing and patina with darker tarnish spots across the silver and gold tones. Standing at 46 cm high, 24 cm wide, and 12 cm deep, the piece functions as an ornamental centrepiece for display upon a sideboard top or display cabinet within a French chateau interior scheme.

FAQs

These works represent French decorative fine art from the mid-to-late 19th century, created by applying a silver layer via electroplating over cast bronze figures depicting classical or allegorical scenes.

Pieces were cast in bronze using lost-wax or sand-casting techniques before receiving an electroplated silver finish and being mounted on cast brass or gilded bases.

Authentic examples feature maker or foundry signatures etched into the bronze, sharp cold-tooling on hair and drapery details, and natural wear where the underlying bronze shows through the silvering.

Position the sculpture as a focal accent on a marble-topped console, mantelpiece, or dark mahogany sideboard to allow the contrasting silver and gold tones to catch natural light.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry horsehair brush or microfibre cloth, and avoid silver polishes or chemical solvents that strip the thin electroplated layer and aged patination.
