About the Item

19th century silvered bronze sculpture, Bear with an umbrella, signed Fratin. This exquisite silvered bronze sculpture by Christophe Fratin is a perfect representation of 19th-century decorative art, skillfully blending intricate chisel work with opulent materials to create a piece that is both majestic and subtly elegant. The sculpture features an anthropomorphized bear seated gracefully, holding an ornately decorated umbrella. The level of detail in the bear’s fur, combined with the richly adorned base and umbrella, showcases Fratin's mastery in capturing lifelike realism while infusing a sense of whimsical charm. The bear’s posture and expression give it an air of both nobility and playfulness, making it a captivating centerpiece for any interior. As one of the most prominent animal sculptors of his time, Christophe Fratin exhibited at the prestigious Paris Salon from 1831 to 1842, and again from 1850 to 1862. His international acclaim extended to the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, and his celebrated work "Eagles and Prey" has been a fixture in Central Park, New York, since 1863. Fratin's sculptures adorn renowned locations such as the Château de Dampierre, the Sans-Souci and Babelsberg castles in Germany, the park in Saint Petersburg, and even the Visconti Courtyard at the Louvre. This piece also highlights Fratin's collaboration with Alfred Daubrée, a renowned sculptor and bronze editor born in Nancy in 1817, further enhancing its historical significance. The bronze has been silvered, adding a layer of refined brilliance to the work. It stands as a fine example of their combined artistic talents and craftsmanship, making it an exceptional addition to any art collection or decorative ensemble.
