Style Regence / Ref.9496

Fleeing Cupid cast iron fireback

Dimensions
Width 29'' ⅛  74cm
Height 27'' ½  70cm

Origin:
Circa 1910

Status:
Good condition.

Castiron fireback from 1910 presenting Cupid flying away, abandoning his quiver of arrows, framed in an oculus. A reclining woman calls him in vain. An abundance of vigorously carved Louis XIV style decorative elements, elongated palms, shells, swirls of foliage and masks of fauns creates a complex composition, similar to the grotesque style.

A resembling fireback is depicted in the book on firebacks by Henri Carpentier, Les Plaques de cheminées, T.I, Paris, 1967, page129.
