The present variant is rare. The delicate casting was carried out by the Paris Foundry Association. Excellent quality, original condition with elaborate fine chasing that emphasizes the different textures. Due to age, the patina is somewhat irregular.

The extraordinary ensemble of sculptures, marble reliefs and medallions illustrated the joys of rural life. The larger than life figure of the Amalthea, made of white marble, was located between large stones at the end of a room designed to resemble a grotto. The depiction of the Nymph Amalthea sitting on a rock is one of his most famous works. The original, which forms the basis for this reduced version, is now in the sculpture collection of the Musée du Louvre (RF 2309). A few years later, Pierre Julien made the reduction himself, which served as a template for versions in porcelain (by the royal factory in Sévres), Bronze or Terrakotta . Reduction Sauvage The French engineer and brilliant inventor Frédéric Sauvage (1786 - 1857) developed a physionometer with which one could measure the head and facial dimensions and prepare for the production of a bust. Another invention ca. scaling objects for reproduction was his reductor pantograph. From 1834 he continued to develop his physionometer. This meant that busts could be produced mechanically directly from the original. Sauvage joined in 1844 Achilles Collas together with him ca. further develop and use the Procédé Sauvage reproduction method. Achille Collas had already developed a process ca. reproducing three-dimensional objects in any desired size. He worked with the Paris foundry since 1838 F. Barbedienne together.

Add to that a passionate interest in exceptional and highly crafted objects. You surely know the exciting feeling when you see or experience something special, when the heart bounces in excitement and the joy inside it spreads. That's what I wanted more in my life and that's how this shop came about. The foundation stone was a study of literature and art history as well as cultural communication. Curiosity, thirst for knowledge and a lot of collaboration with amazing personalities in the art and design world are how I got myself to where I am today. Through antiques, history becomes tangible in the literal sense, one can perceive it sensually. They calmly defy the constant change of fashions and the taste of the times. They are like a bridge between past and present. For me personally they are an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Some objects give up puzzles, lock themselves up; others quite frankly reveal their past. They radiate joie de vivre, astonish or enchant us; make a collector's heart beat faster or become good friends and a meaningful place in your lives. They may be bulky or controversial, but they are never boring. I believe the stories, the hands, and the tradition behind the objects are equally as important as their aesthetic qualities. Antique objects can add so much value to your life, and I personally cannot imagine a home without it. Each piece in my shop has been thoughtfully and personally chosen. What unites them is their craftsmanship, care and attention to detail. Enjoy them.
