About the Item

Rare, perhaps unique, this beautifully sculpted and cast bronze cup features a frieze of racing cars and motorcycles in the heat of the race, above a series of garlands with oaks leaves and acorns, foliate motifs and a fluted base. Signed "Etling Paris," this cup was designed and made by the famed Edmond Etling Cie firm, which also cast sculptures for Demetre Chiparus and other major sculptors in the 1920s and 1930s. The cup may have served as a trophy for a car race in the 1920s, or as a commemorative piece for a driver, sponsor or car owner.

"Music and Wine, " Lidded Bronze Bowl w/ Greek Renaissance Motifs, E F Caldwell

By Edward F. Caldwell Co.

Located in Philadelphia, PA

Made by Edward F. Caldwell & Company of New York, America's most distinguished and lauded maker of fine lighting fixtures and metal decorative pieces in the early 20th century, this lidded bowl of cast and repoussé bronze depicts a series of winemaking scenes on the lid and a frieze of Renaissance angels playing lute and pipes on the bowl below. This piece is rare, and rarer still is the fineness of casting and enameling seen here. The Caldwell company was founded by E. F. Caldwell with Victor von Lossberg in 1895, and before long the company was collaborating with the likes of Stanford White and other prominent architects, supplying lighting and architectural details for a veritable "who's who" of prestigious building projects. Among them: the University Club, Andrew Carnegie...
