Bronze Figure “Seated Bacchante” on Black Marble - with Vine Leaves and Grapes - H. 27,3 cm

A companion of the wine god, celebrating pleasure with grapes and vine leaves.

As a subject linked to wine, the bacchante belongs in a dining room, a wine cellar or beside the home bar, and equally in a cabinet or bookcase. For wine connoisseurs and lovers of classical mythology she is a fitting gift.

At a glance

• Material: Bronze, marble base

Craftsmanship

After lost-wax casting, the vine leaves, grapes and folds of drapery are boldly worked by hand while the upper body stays smooth. The golden brown patina is applied by hand. A round bronze base on stepped black marble forms the foundation.

Care

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