About the Item

Each rooster is in full attack, wings spread, body twisting, and plumage finely chiseled. This pair of roosters is distinguished by the tension of the movement and the precision of the modeling. The surfaces alternate between polished and chiseled to better highlight the light on the plumage. The balance between vigor and elegance perfectly embodies the post-war animal style, combining decorative tradition and formal modernity. This work of great virtuosity is typical of the Maison Eschwege, a Parisian silversmith renowned during the post-war period for its animal sculptures of expressive naturalism. These sculptures were intended as table decorations for grand hunting dinners. Dimensions: each rooster: L. 28 cm × W. 18 cm × H. 20 cm Material: 950/°°° Silver Weight of the 2 roosters: 1.864 kg Hallmark: MINERVE Period: Circa 1950 Silversmith: ESCHWEGE in PARIS Origin: France/Paris
