Pedestal " Eros riding a dolphin " in Natural Wood and Blackened Wood, Late 19th Century

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Charming saddle in the Napoleon III taste, summoned with a blackened wooden tray, worked in the shape of a scallop shell, and provided with a round base, also in blackened wood, embellished with moldings and resting on pancake feet.
This saddle is noticed by its unbeaned carved barrel, representing the long tail of a dolphin whose head is ride by a cherub. This tail looks like a winding branch decorated with acanthus leaves.
Eros naked, sitting on his dolphin seems joyful, holding his curly hair with his left hand, the other placed on his thigh. His legs have aquatic attributes recalling the symbiosis that unites the cherub to his companion.
We imagine them skimming the seas and sharing many adventures.
This theme of the God of love burning a dolphin, a mythological animal, was recurrent in ancient art.
Here it is reinterpreted by the artist who performs a unique and poetic ornamental hot seat.
