About this item
This is a wonderful antique French Grand Tour classical bronze model of the Borghese Gladiator, circa 1880 in date.
The well patinated bronze on a rectangular bronze base inscribed "Louvres Paris" and engraved with a presentation inscription dated 1935. Mounted on a fine mottled brown marble socle.
A reduction of the Borghese Gladiator depicted lunging with shield and sword, after the life-sized Hellenistic marble sculpture created at Ephesus about 100 BC.
This stunning high-quality bronze is superbly cast and has an elegant golden patina. It is made from the lost-wax process, otherwise known as 'cire perdue' method.
The attention to detail and quality throughout this piece is second to none.
