Bronze Figure “Girl with Grape Basket” on Black Marble - Grape Harvest - H. 17,2 cm

A little vineyard girl holding her harvest proudly in her arms.

Give it a place in a cabinet, on a shelf or at the centre of the table, especially wherever wine matters: in a cellar, a wine shop or a country kitchen. For wine lovers and collectors of genre figures it is an affectionate gift.

At a glance

• Material: Bronze, marble base
• Colour: bronze / black
• Dimensions (W x D x H): 9,6 x 12,6 x 17,2 cm
• Weight: 1,4 kg
• Finish: Lost-wax cast, hand-chased and patinated

Craftsmanship

After lost-wax casting, the berries and wickerwork are reworked by hand until every grape stands out in relief. The warm golden brown patina is applied by hand. Beneath the modelled bronze ground lies a rectangular slab of black marble.

Care

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