Pair of candlesticks; France, 19th century. Chiseled and burnished bronze with porcelain enameled body. Measurements: 87 x 43 x 40 cm (x2). Pair formed by two candlesticks of seven lights each, all of them made in bronze combined with porcelain in the Sèvres style. Both have the same design that starts from a round base that sits on four legs in the shape of a feline claw. The bronze piece ends with a decoration of stylized and synthetic leaves. From the base there are bronze putti-shaped appliqués, which give way to the handles. The central body of periform format is made of porcelain enameled in blue. This type of work was very common in the interior decoration of upper-class homes and palaces in the 19th century. Used to decorate rooms by placing them on tables, chests of drawers, etc., they were highly appreciated both by the nobility and by a certain part of the bourgeoisie (those who aspired to emulate the aristocracy, above all) and were made in practically all the important artistic schools of the time. However, the most valued creations were the French ones for several reasons. First, the quality of their design, always inspired by the artistic innovations of the time and avoiding excessive repetition, with a wide variety of models drawn from different sources (Greek sculptures, mythological themes, contemporary works, etc.). Secondly, for the quality of the materials used: high quality porcelain, well-crafted bronzes of good casting and excellent gilding (techniques that the French government itself always had very controlled so as not to lower their quality or, as a result, the category of their production), metals, sometimes carved and polychromed wood, etc.

Richard MacDonald (American, b. 1946). Large bronze sculpture titled "Red Dress, Half Life," from the "Joie de Vivre" series depicting a half life-size ballerina perched delicately on the tip of her toes. A radiant smile lights up her face and she seems to spin gracefully as the fabric of her dress swishes around her. Signed and dated 2001 along the base. From an edition of 90. With a wooden plinth. Provenance: The collection of Clint & Mary Ann Jurgens, Minnesota. Walt and Vi Jurgens, Clint’s parents, began supporting Sullivan Hills, a Lutheran summer camp near their farm in Gurley, Nebraska, 50 years ago. The camp generously welcomes all children of the area with financial help and love. We are directing the proceeds of this sale to the administrators of the camp, Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries.

He was classically trained at Art Center College in Pasanda, California. Following the great sculptural masters such as Auguste Rodin and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, he adds a contemporary element to his figural creations. His ability to focus on how the body can be manipulated has led to his work with Cirque du Soleil, MGM, and the Olympic Games. His process involves making a clay "sketch" or maquette of his work. These quarter-size models are the basis for his half life to life-size works. He then utilizes the famously painstaking Lost Wax method in which his work will become first a wax model and then a bronze sculpture. (Including base) Height: 60 in x width: 30 in x depth: 22 1/2 in. Weight (without wooden base): 198 lbs 6 oz.
