19th Century Mosanic Galle Style Cats

19th century
Description

This is a good pair of large 19th century Mosanic cats in the Galle style with a lovely green glaze, hand painted detail and glass eyes. The cats have the Mosanic signature to the base which is from Max Emanuel and company, a glass and porcelain importer and retailer who had a store in London from 1845 to 1914. The firm had a large network of suppliers and many renowned companies sold their items via the shop in London, most notably Loetz glassworks in Bohemia who Max commissioned a large range of products from during this time.

These cats are in lovely original condition, one paw has been reattached shown in photos and slight nibbles to edges of the feet but otherwise excellent with a lovely colour. They are beautifully hand painted and have the signature heart motif always seen on these Mosanic pieces.

The cats measure 22 cms high 18 cms wide 13 cms deep.

UK insured delivery is £20

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

Mosanic faience cat figures are tin-glazed earthenware animal sculptures produced during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the style popularized by Emile Galle in Nancy, France, and replicated by potteries in the Meuse region.

These figures were cast from earthenware clay, coated in a tin-based glaze, decorated with enamel paint motifs, and fitted with inset glass eyes before being fired in a kiln.

Authentic pieces feature molded earthenware bodies with distinctive tin glaze craquelure, hand-applied enamel patterns, glass eyes set into the ceramic head, and often maker marks impressed or painted on the base.

A pair of glazed ceramic figures can be placed symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, integrated into a curated bookshelf display, or positioned on a sideboard to add historical interest and visual texture.

Clean gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals or immersion in water which can compromise aged glazes, loose glass eyes, or existing restorations.
