Large Bronze Figure of a Knight C.1900

1900 - 1920
Description

Splendid large bronze figure of a medieval knight or warrior c.1900. Measuring 36" tall to the tip of the sword. Dressed in a helmet and chain mail tunic, with a dagger at his waist and carrying a large kite shaped shield on his left arm which features (unusually) a Latin cross with the cross of St Andrew (or Saltire) behind, suggesting a Scottish connection perhaps. With his right arm he raises a long broadsword in salute or victory. Very well cast in bronze with superb colour and detail. Stood on an 18" x 12" base. Signed in the cast E Bull (or Butt?). Excellent condition.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1900s:
Cast signature of Enrico Butti: Italian sculptor working around the turn of the century.
Aged casting core and crust under the base: traditional bronze foundry work.
Verdigris gathered in the hollows and crevices: natural oxidisation over many decades.
Finely chased detail on the mail tunic: skilled hand finishing after casting.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

This large bronze figure of a medieval knight dates from c.1900 in the Gothic Revival style. Rendered in a dark brown patinated bronze with a signature visible in the cast, the sculpture depicts a warrior wearing a helmet, chainmail tunic, and a dagger at his waist. He raises a removable long broadsword in his right hand and carries a large kite-shaped shield on his left arm, standing upon an integrated bronze base measuring 91.5 cm high, 51 cm wide, and 40.5 cm deep. Placed on an office desk or within a gentleman's library, the artwork brings historical character to an interior. The sculpture shows detailed texturing across the chainmail armor, facial features under the helmet, and the heraldic design on the shield, while resting firmly on its rocky ground-style base.

FAQs

Around 1900, during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, European decorative arts saw a revival of interest in medieval iconography and chivalric themes. Sculptors produced detailed figures depicting knights and warriors to satisfy popular demand for Gothic Revival and historical decorative accents.

These sculptures were typically created using lost-wax or sand-casting techniques. The molten bronze was poured into moulds, cleaned of casting seams, hand-chased for fine detail, and finished with a chemical patina to achieve darker tones.

Authentic period bronzes exhibit distinct weight appropriate to solid metal, clear definition in hand-chased details such as chainmail or facial features, and natural wear patterns on the patina where handled over time. Look for foundry stamps, sculptor signatures, or period mounting methods on the base.

Display the sculpture as an accent piece on an executive desk, within a styled bookcase, or atop a side table. The dark patinated metal contrasts against lighter wall surfaces and complements natural timber, stone, and leather textures.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or horsehair brush. Avoid water, liquid cleaners, and abrasive chemical polishes, as these strip the original chemical patina; a thin layer of microcrystalline wax can be applied periodically to protect the surface.
