Antique 19th Century French Bronze Study of a Tiger on a Marble Base Circa 1890

19th century
Description

This high quality and very well modelled French bronze study depicts a muscular prowling tiger with its mouth wide open roaring and growling, perhaps to warn off a rival or to attract a mate. This study is particularly well finished with lots of fine hand chased detailing, particularly to the head and paws. The bronze has a good lustre finish with a rich olive brown patination. The tiger is displayed to great advantage on its original cream marble base highlighted with brown, black and umber veins. A very pleasing late 19th century bronze in good original condition, circa 1890.

Height 10.5cm x width 18cm x depth 9cm

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

The Animalier movement originated in 19th-century France, focusing on accurate, naturalistic depictions of animals, particularly wild beasts, horses, and dogs, cast primarily in bronze.

These sculptures were cast in solid bronze using lost-wax or sand casting methods, after which craftsmen hand-chased the surface fur details and mounted the figure onto a polished marble base.

Authentic period bronzes display precise hand-chasing, age-appropriate patina in recessed areas, substantial weight, and original mounting hardware under the marble plinth.

Position the bronze figure on a study desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece alongside rich timber furniture and neutral tones to highlight the sculptural silhouette.

Dust the item regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a thin layer of clear microcrystalline wax annually to preserve the bronze patina while avoiding liquid cleaners on the marble base.
