Life-size Grand Tour Plaster Dancing Faun

1900 - 1920
Description

A Grand Tour style life-size cast plaster figure of the Dancing Faun, circa 1910, after Pietro Cipriani’s 1722 bronze cast (now in the J. Paul Getty Museum), this figure possibly cast by Pietro Caproni, in sections, the arms detachable, on a separate original pitch pine pedestal base of canted box form on ceramic wheel castors.

Dimensions: the figure 148cm high, 52cm deep, 82cm wide; the base 82cm high, 46cm deep, 55cm wide; 230cm high overall

Pietro Paulo Caproni (1862–1928) founded PP Caproni & Brother, Boston, Massachusetts, manufacturers of plaster reproductions of classical and contemporary statues. In an era before commercial photography, these statues were an integral educational tool in teaching people the history of art and antiquities; they supplied art schools, major universities and museums in the United States and abroad.

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.
