A French Bronze of a Sphinx, Late 19th Century

19th century
Description

A super French late 19th century bronze of a Sphinx on a marble base. In the Egyptian Revival taste, it was probably a popular piece for the 19th century travellers on the Grand Tour. The Sphinx is a mythical character with the body of a lion and the head of a man. The bronze is well cast and the patination is good. There are some chips to the marble base and some age related wear, otherwise it is in good condition. It measures 13cm high x 8cm wide x 22cm long.

FAQs

Egyptian Revival style incorporated motifs from ancient Egypt, such as sphinxes, obelisks, and pharaonic headpieces, into European decorative arts following Napoleons campaigns and the discovery of ancient tombs.

These sculptures were typically cast in solid bronze using lost-wax or sand-casting techniques and mounted on dark natural stone bases such as slate or Belgian black marble.

Authentic pieces feature precise hand-chased details, realistic muscle definition, naturally aged dark patination, and proportional mounting onto heavy stone plinths.

This piece acts as a focal point when placed on a mahogany executive desk, positioned among leather-bound books on a shelf, or styled on a dark mantelpiece.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners, applying a light coat of microcrystalline wax annually to protect the original patination.
