FRENCH SCHOOL 4th qtr, 19th century Bust of Greek Warrior Patinated bronze | unsigned | cast circa late 19th century Item # 304KEX30P A fine casting that probably depicts the warrior Achilles, though perhaps being a depiction of Aeneas. The warrior is captured looking to the right with a firm jaw and a determined intensity that follows from his eyes through all of his features. He wears a brilliantly decorated helmet flanked on either side with wings, the body of the helmet decorated with bas-relief scrolling acanthus below the large plume that cascades over the crown. The cast dates from the fourth quarter of the 19th century and rests over a separately cast turned socle over a squared plinth. Measurements: 18 1/8" H x 8 1/4" W x 5 1/4" D Condition Report: Natural age related variation to the patina including surface staining, light wear, trace tarnish and underlying accretion. Carefully cleaned, sealed in wax and polished. A very nice presentation.

SHIPPING We take shipping very seriously and maintain a fully equipped in-house packing facility to professionally package these important and delicate pieces. All packaging is handled by our staff and will generally consist of: Wrapping the item in several inches of heavy-duty bubble wrap with careful attention shown to pressure points, crafting the placement of the bubble wrap in a manner that allows delicate parts of the item to remain out of harm's way. The item is then placed into a tight-fitting carton with a void fill of either peanuts, Styrofoam, bubble wrap or a combination of the three to ensure it cannot move within the carton That carton is then double-boxed by placing it into an outer carton 2-3" larger on all sides with a dense void fill in the gap [note, paintings are generally not double-boxed but instead have a different packing methodology to properly protect the frame from pressure] All shipments are guaranteed to arrive safely. We fully insure all shipments and in the event of damage we will handle all of the details around the claims process. You are only required to send along photos, to hold onto the damaged item and all packing materials until the claims process is resolved and we also reserve the right to require the damaged item to be shipped back to us at our expense (a prepaid label will be issued) to qualify for a refund.
