Description

- Zoomorphic patinated bronze faucet, a work dating from the early 20th century.

- The appearance of this patinated bronze faucet is as surprising as it is seductive. While the spout is derived from a bull's protome, it is the bas-relief sculpted face of a gorgon that serves as the handle to operate this faucet. These zoomorphic and anthropomorphic elements are delicately transcribed in a naturalistic style, reinforcing the presence of these figures. The refined aesthetic of this work tends to obscure its utilitarian function, much to the delight of the eye.

- Very good condition.

- Dimensions - Height: 17 cm, Width: 8 cm, Depth: 18.5 cm, External thread diameter: 4.5 cm
