A Pair of Late 19th Century Bronze Harlequin Figures by Alfred Grevin

19th century
Description

This superb pair of 19th century bronze figures is by Alfred Grevin (1827 – 1892). He was an artist and a leading caricaturist best known during his lifetime for his caricature silhouettes of contemporary Parisian women. He was also a talented sculptor and cartoonist and was highly regarded in all aspects of his work.

These fine, detailed and sculpted bronze figures date to circa 1870 and depict the harlequin playing a large guitar like instrument and the faunesse, a mythical female figure playing the violin.

Both bronzes are in excellent condition with a very pleasing light to mid brown patina.

Both pieces are fully signed on their rectangular bases.

French, circa 1870

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.

During the late 19th century, French foundry production flourished, producing detailed bronze figures depicting theatrical, allegorical, and musical subjects for private collections and domestic decoration.

Most fine 19th-century European bronzes were cast using the lost-wax (cire perdue) or sand casting methods, finished with cold-chasing and chemical patination to achieve varied surface detail.

Authentication involves inspecting foundry stamps, sculptor signatures, casting weight, hand-chased surface details, and the natural chemical patination that develops over time.

Bronze figures add historical weight and texture when positioned on mantelpieces, bookshelves, or console tables, contrasting against neutral or minimalist backdrops.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and occasionally apply a thin layer of clear microcrystalline wax to protect the patina from atmospheric oxidisation and fingerprints.
