19th century

Sold by Kendall House Antiques Ltd.

Description

Inscribed with the dated 1st August 1862, the sculptor Edaward W Wyon, the title “MAY MORNING” Milton Song and around the top “ART UNION OF LONDON.”

With a high relief sculpture of two female nudes taken from the work of John Milton, volume of poems of 1645. Within its original ebonised frame, gilt slip and suspension loop.

Note. The Art Union of London (1837–1912) was an organisation which distributed works of art amongst its subscribers by lottery. The idea emerged in Switzerland at the beginning of the 19th century. It was introduced to England in the late 1830s on the recommendation of a House of Commons Select Committee on the Arts and Manufactures in the United Kingdom. In addition to pictures the Union began to offer medallions, bronze statuettes and, as offered here, sculptures made of ‘Parian Ware’, a type of unglazed porcelain which was intended to resemble marble.
