Antique Pair of Silvered Bronze Dancing Musicians – Signed “Callot”, After Émile Coriolan Hippolyte Guillemin

19th century
Description

Antique Pair of Silvered Bronze Dancing Musicians – Signed “Callot”, after Émile Coriolan Hippolyte Guillemin

Description:

A delightful antique pair of silvered bronze figures depicting dancing musicians in the manner of Émile Coriolan Hippolyte Guillemin, signed “Callot”. These finely sculpted jesters capture a wonderful sense of movement, joy, and expression, each posed mid-dance with animated gestures and characterful faces.

The quality of modelling is evident in the detailed costumes and lively composition, making them highly decorative and engaging display pieces. Each figure is raised on an elegant serpentine marble pedestal base, which complements the silvered finish beautifully.

Condition:

Good antique condition with age-related wear to the silvered surface, adding to their authentic character. One marble base has been previously cracked and professionally repaired, remaining stable. Both figures are signed to the base.

Dimensions:

Height: 13.5 cm each

Why These Pieces Stand Out:

Charming and expressive dancing musician figures

After the work of the renowned French sculptor Guillemin

Signed “Callot” Silvered bronze with decorative marble bases

Ideal cabinet pieces with strong visual appeal

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.
