A Large and Impressive Bronze Sculpture of a Eagle by Claude Mirval

1900 - 1920
Sold 4 June 2025 · Robert Belcher Antiques
This “Large and Impressive Bronze Sculpture of a Eagle by Claude Mirval” found a buyer.

It was listed by Robert Belcher Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

This superb and large scale sculpture cleverly depicts an eagle with wide outspread wings having just landed on a rocky ledge. It was produced by the highly acclaimed French artist Claude Mirval who worked from the late 19th century and into the first quarter of the 20th century. He produced a diverse range of sculptures. This magnificent and finely detailed bronze has cleverly captured the power and movement of this large raptor in a very complicated position. It is signed on the reverse of the naturalistic rocky base Mirval and it is also in small letters stamped France and bronze.

It is further enhanced by being mounted onto the original rich green marble base with white veins which is cut and polished to the shape of the bronze base. This impressive bronze is in very good condition and has a mellow toned mid brown patination.

French circa 1910

Mid-century bronze animal sculptures often drew inspiration from the classical animalier tradition, focusing on the realistic depiction of wildlife with expressive patination and detailed casting techniques.

These sculptures are traditionally created using the lost-wax casting method, where molten bronze is poured into a mould, followed by manual chasing and the application of chemical patinas to achieve various colour tones.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining the weight, the presence of foundry marks or artist signatures, the depth of the casting detail, and the natural ageing of the metal and patina.

A bronze sculpture can serve as a striking focal point on a mantelpiece, console table, or office desk, pairing well with natural materials like wood, marble, and leather to add texture and gravitas.

Bronze pieces should be dusted regularly with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally treated with microcrystalline wax to protect the patina from moisture and handling oils, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
