Description from the seller

Ferdinand LEVILLAIN (1837-1905) for Ferdinand BARBEDIENNE (1810-1892) 'Scène paysanne' 1879 Cup (tazza) on a pedestal

French bronze tazza plate, made by F. Levillain for Barbedienne, featuring a cup with finely chiseled neo-Greek decoration. Resting on a small pedestal, the piece is distinguished by the richness of its antique motifs inspired by Classical Antiquity, characteristic of the 19th-century taste for history and the exceptional craftsmanship of Parisian art bronziers.
Bronze socle with a copper patina, incised with a scene of a procession of antique-style figures leading animals.

Signed and dated in the setting, for Levillain, and on the reverse for Barbedienne.
