Claude Michel, known as Clodion, was a French sculptor born in 1738 who became famous for his small, Rococo-style terracotta sculptures of mythological and playful figures After training under his uncle and Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, he won the Prix de Rome and spent nine years in Italy, where he was influenced by classical and Baroque art. He returned to Paris in 1771, where he gained a large international following for his work before the French Revolution forced him to his hometown of Nancy for a time. Later in life, he adapted his style to Neoclassicism and contributed to major works like the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. Clodion died in 1814 ****Please take time to scroll down below and click "MORE FROM THIS SELLER" which lets you "SAVE SELLER" Shop PATRICK HOWARD ANTIQUES to get your first dibs on our new inventory which is updated regularly with extraordinary and decorative VERY affordable antiques.

Located in Milano, MI
A stunning Italian gilt copper ewer dating back to 18th century with a circular body featuring a quadripartite decoration defined by the repoussé of a double vertical ribbed frame that frames tableaux decorated with floral scrolls; the background of these sections is finely dotted by chisel tool to underline a very pleasant relief to the embossed parts thanks to the burnishing.

This rare golden jug was created to serve wine during the Eucharistic celebration, the Christian liturgical practice. it is an Italian work of art that dates back to 1700, with a wonderful fire gilding, for collectors. In good age related condition regardless of a small dent in the middle part of the body, consistent with the eighteenth-century dating. The cast handle takes up the motif of the volutes present on the body of the ewer. The spout is closed by a hinged lid with a small floral knob, with minimal deformations near the hinge compromising its perfect closure. In the upper part, there are welding signs...
