Bronze Group “Putto on a Fish” on Black Marble - Baroque - H. 15,9 cm

A theme from Baroque fountain art, scaled down for desk and display cabinet.

The small group looks good on a desk, in a cabinet or in a bathroom with a maritime theme, and doubles as a paperweight. Admirers of Baroque garden sculpture and sailing enthusiasts will find it a fitting gift.

At a glance

Craftsmanship

Cast by the lost-wax method and chased by hand, the group shows scales, fins and rolling waves in fine detail. The brown patina is picked out with golden highlights. A round black marble base keeps the small piece steady.

Care

A soft, dry cloth is enough, for the marble too. Polish, water and cleaners would only harm the patina.
