Description

Henri Pernot 1859-1937 La Belle Epoque Seated Boy Bronze C1900, 39cm, Signed.

An elegant bronze sculpture, signed by Henri Pernot 1859-1937, Belgium artist and sculpture who moved to France and practiced in Paris, this being a typical circa 1900 bronze in the Belle Epoque era.

A charming seated boy upon a bell, an innocent portrayal of a young boy, a popular subject and style of the period, an androgynous young boy with excellent detail and crisp features, a well cast bronze sculpture by an established and reputable artist, Henri Pernot whose bronze sculptures are exhibited in museums, including the Paris Musée d’Orsay.

A collectible artist with many recorded sales, this being an enchanting example of delightful subject and crisp cast, highlighting gentle features and a timeworn patination which adds to its authenticity and character.

Originally a bell, no internal strike to the bell. A fine table top sculpture of great charm and decorative appeal. A convincing, fine quality bronze by an accomplished artist who operated during the Paris art movement of the late 19th to early 20th century.

La Belle Epoque refers to a period of artistic flourishing in France from the late 19th century to the First World War, characterised by optimism, peace, and innovations in decorative arts and bronze casting.

These pieces were typically crafted using the lost-wax method, known as cire perdue, or sand casting, utilising copper alloys finished with chemical patinations to create varied surface tones.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the depth and quality of the patination, looking for artist signatures or foundry stamps, checking for casting seams, and verifying the weight and metal composition.

Position the piece on a focal surface such as a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table where its metallic texture and silhouette can contrast with minimalist modern surroundings.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid chemical cleaners, water, or abrasive polishes, which can strip the historic patination and damage the metal.
