About the Item

This very large Bronze ewer is finely cast and has many areas of after casting hand chasing and deeply sculpted details. Done in the Renaissance revival style most associated with the robber barons of the last part of the 19th century filling new mansions with newly made antiques and real antiques creating in America the old world their ancestors came from. The decorative elements are cherubs in a bacchanal setting, cherubs riding a mastiff, a ram with wine goblets, oak leaves and grape clusters, Acanthus leaves and flowering vines. The bronze has a lovely rich brown gold patina and appears to be all original with a nice overall rub thru pattern.

Chinese Arcaistic Style Cast Bronze Lidded Urn with Carved Jade Finial

Chinese Arcaistic Style Cast Bronze Lidded Urn with Carved Jade Finial

Located in Hudson, NY

This very finely cast bronze urn in an archaistic form was made in the very late 19th century approximately 1895-1900. Done with an apocryphal feeling to honor the ancient past, the vase is beautifully rendered in low relief in bronze covering almost the entire body of the urn. The predominant features are the divided taotie masks that compose the swelling middle body of the vase and also at the corners of the upper section. Crisp but subtle, the casting is clearly handled with great attention to linear form. The patina is very nice and consists of a modeled golden brown with a slight but very lite Verdigris color. The urn has an old rosewood base and lid that seems to have been purpose made for the object. Finally, the whole is set off with a carved jade finial...
