Biography of Auguste Nicolas Caïn (10 November 1821 – 6 August 1894) was a French sculptor in the Animaliers school, known for his portrayals of wild and domesticated animals. Caïn was born in Paris, and studied under Rude, Guionnet, and Pierre-Jules Mêne (whose daughter he married in 1852). His first exhibit in the Salon of 1846 was a wax model of a linnet defending her nest from a rat, later cast in bronze and shown at the 1855 Salon. Between 1846 and 1888, Caïn exhibited 38 models at the Salon.

From 1868 onwards he concentrated on monuments, including the Chiens de meute at the Château de Chantilly, Le Lion de Nubie et sa proie in the Jardin du Luxembourg, and Tigress and Peacock in the Gardens of the Tuileries. In 1879 he assumed management of his father-in-law's foundry upon Mêne's death. His works fetch up to $84,849 US dollars.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

The Animalier movement emerged in 19th-century France, characterized by artists who specialized in creating realistic depictions of animals. These sculptors focused on precise anatomical accuracy, movement, and expression, creating popular decorative bronzes for country homes and libraries.

Traditional bronze sculptures were cast using either the lost-wax (cire perdue) or sand-casting method. After casting, skilled craftspeople hand-chased the metal to refine fine details and applied chemical patinas to achieve deep brown, black, or dark green surface finishes.

Authentic pieces typically feature refined hand-chased details, crisp muscle rendering, and natural wear patterns on the patina consistent with age. They often bear foundry stamps, sculptor signatures, or numbers cast directly into the base.

Bronze sculptures function well as focal points on a timber mantelpiece, a library console table, or within an open bookcase. Pairing dark bronze with natural wood finishes, leather upholstery, or muted wall tones enhances the depth and texture of the metalwork.

Maintain patinated bronze by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth or soft-bristled brush. Protect the original patina by applying a thin layer of microcrystalline wax annually and avoiding water, liquid cleaners, or abrasive polishes.
