Antique Bronze Figure of a Cherub Holding a Wheat Sheaf

19th century
Description

A splendid antique bronze figure of a cherub holding a wheat sheaf and standing on a fish, possibly some harvest significance. The bronze has a wonderful rich colour and patina and dates from circa.1820. The black marble base has a couple of small chips on the back edge and I feel it may be a bit later in date but suits the figure very well. 32.5cms tall and the base is 10cms square.

FAQs

Representations of cherubs or putti originated in classical antiquity and gained widespread popularity during the Renaissance and Neoclassical periods. In 19th-century decorative art, these figures were frequently cast in bronze as allegorical representations of the four seasons, harvest, or classical virtues.

Period bronzes were typically created using lost-wax or sand-casting techniques. The cast metal was then hand-chased to refine surface details like drapery and hair before a chemical patina was applied and the figure mounted to a marble or stone base.

Authentic period bronzes exhibit detailed hand-finishing, crisp chasing around hair and features, and natural wear to the patina on raised areas. Original pieces are heavier than modern resin reproductions and usually feature classical threaded assembly techniques visible beneath the base.

A bronze figure adds historical depth when displayed on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble sideboard, or within a minimalist bookshelf unit. Placing the sculpture against light-coloured backgrounds highlights its silhouette and dark patinated surface.

Remove dust regularly using a soft, dry bristle brush or lint-free cloth. To preserve the original patina, apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax once a year and buff gently, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or humid environments.
