Bronze Figure “Amor Alerte” on Black Marble - golden-brown patina - H. 37,8 cm
Item number 138545
Cupid with a raised forefinger: a charming warning against the arrows of love.
“Alerte” means something like “watch out”, and that is exactly what the smiling boy with the headband conveys. He graces a bedroom or a hallway chest and makes an affectionate gift for a wedding, an anniversary or Valentine's Day.

Craftsmanship
The lost-wax method yields the solid casting; everything after that is handwork. His bow is slung over his shoulder, a round shield rests on his arm and the quiver lies at his feet; feathers, curls and hip cloth are neatly chased. A bronze ground bearing the foundry seal sits on stepped black marble.
Care
A soft, dry cloth is all it needs; keep water and cleaning products away from the patina.
