About the Item
ETIENNE-HENRI DUMAIGE
French, 1830-1888
Classical Seated Woman with Treasure Spilling at Her Feet
Burnished and patinated bronze over original polished black marble base signed in cast "H. Dumaige Sculpt" and cold-stamped 3750 circa 1875
Item # 309OXB09P
This exquisite cast depicts a full-length seated female modeled with echoes of classical antiquity. Dumaige seeks to depict the young woman as a noble likely of the Roman Empire, her wealth an obscene display with pearls falling from her fingers almost as an afterthought over a chest of jewels with treasure spilling from the lid before her overstuffed throne with a richly decorated pillow. Her intricately draped clothing is admirably rendered with exquisite realism in the twists and folds of the fabric; the modeling showcases such a light touch to the textiles.
The young woman is relaxed and jovial, contemplating something that has captured her attention in the distance and has allowed her to temporarily forget the wealth in hand. She is raised on a polished bronze base over a conforming original black marble plinth. Note the very fine development of details throughout the figure with exceedingly good finishing work by the ciseleur with extensive texturing, hammering and cross-hatching to create an endlessly complex surface.
Measurements: 13 3/4" H [including base]; 12 3/4" H x 4 5/8" D x 6 1/4" W [bronze only]
Condition Report:
A fine presentation throughout, carefully cleaned and sealed in conservator's grade wax; light wear to the patina including gentle relieving of raised elements from handling over time; bronze base has been repolished to a brilliant golden luster and sealed in wax; marble stone has been polished and sealed; some chipping and wear to the black marble, including some breakout at the back right corner where a tiny rod indexes the stone beneath the base.

Rare Art Deco Bronze Sculpture “Mischievous” by Paul Philippe
Located in Shippensburg, PA
An exquisite and rare example of Paul Philippe's Mischievous finished in a brilliant polychromed gilt, the young woman grabs her reddish-brown hair in hand while looking off into the corner with a sly look in her eyes that suggests she holds a secret that we will never know. The base signature is captured directly from the mold. Situated over its original faceted base. A very fine work.
ARTIST
Born in Thorn in Poland in 1870, Paul Philippe studied under Antonin Larroux at the École des Beaux-Arts after moving to Paris, France around 1900. He exhibited extensively at all of the major French salons and developed his own voice in sculpture by focusing his ouevre around the movement of the female body, often depicting exotic models in highly theatrical poses with a loose adherence to realism in his idealized visions. He walked a fine line between Art Nouveau and Art Deco while his figures do tend towards the latter. He executed figures in bronze and chryselephantine and worked with some of the best foundries in France and Germany. Many examples of his work are held in the Art Deco Museum in Moscow, Russia.
