"Bronze Tidy Box ''the Child And The Dolphin'' - Early Nineteenth"
Bronze storage compartment with brown patina surmounting a white marble base. This charming ring sizer represents a child carrying a large shell, placed on his head, which he holds with his small outstretched arms. The chubby-faced child framed in curls seems absorbed in his task. He balances himself astride the back of a dolphin, the animal's long tail helping to maintain the shell. Illustrating the complicity of the child and the dolphin, this delicately sculpted bicentenary object will captivate you with its refinement and originality. ******* Period: Early 19th century Excellent condition.
