19th century
Description

A large mid 19th century (circa 1850) French bronze group of a Satyr with two fauns, After Claude Michel Clodian (1738-1814), bearing brass plaque 'Education de Bacchus' and signature to back.

This group consists of a Satyr with small horns to his head, seated and wearing a wreath to his head of vine leaves and grapes, holding a platter of grapes in his hand.

The Satyr is holding one faun, the other is at his feet, all supported on a naturalistic base with trailing vine leaves.

The Satyr was part of a troop of companions of the God of grape & harvest, Bacchus, the Satyr typically wore wreaths of vines on his head and was half man and half goat.

The bronze is supported on a circular rouge marble moulded base.

Clodion was a French sculptor working in Paris workshops from 1755, he gained various awards for his work and then worked in Rome in 1762 and later returned to Paris and produced many fine sculptures.

FAQs

Claude Michel, known as Clodion, created Rococo-style terracotta and bronze works depicting nymphs, satyrs, and Bacchic scenes during the 18th century. Throughout the 19th century, French foundries cast bronze editions after his original designs to satisfy demand for classical narrative art.

Sculptors and foundries utilised copper-alloy bronze cast via sand-casting or lost-wax methods, which were hand-chased and finished with chemical patinas. Completed figures were frequently mounted onto polished marble, slate, or stone plinths to provide stability and weight.

Authentic 19th-century bronzes display sharp hand-chased surface details, natural patination wear on raised contours, and traditional mounting threads or threaded rods under the base. Stamped foundry marks or inscriptions from established Parisian workshops also assist in period verification.

Display a classical bronze group on a marble sideboard, mantelpiece, or dark wood bookshelf alongside contemporary ceramics to establish visual contrast. The dark patinated finish complements neutral walls, stone surfaces, and warm ambient lighting.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush to remove debris from crevices. Avoid water, chemical solvents, or abrasive polishes, applying a thin layer of microcrystalline wax annually to protect against atmospheric oxidisation.
