About the Item
Decorate a console, mantel, or a woman’s writing desk with this romantic antique bronze composition titled “Le Baiser” (“The Kiss”). Crafted in France circa 1860, the sculpture depicts a gallant gentleman leaning in to kiss a young maiden on the cheek, capturing a tender moment of courtship in exquisite detail. The young woman, dressed in period attire, holds a woven basket while slightly turning toward her suitor with a demure expression, embodying the charm and elegance of 19th-century French romanticism.
The sculptural group stands on an integral round base with naturalistic terrain, richly adorned with a deep gilt patina that accentuates the modeling of fabric folds, faces, and textures. The piece is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with a warm, timeworn glow enhancing its antique character.
