INKWELL WITH A FIGURE OF PAN FRANCE, EARLY 19TH CENTURY
INKWELL WITH A FIGURE OF PAN FRANCE, EARLY 19TH CENTURY
A large desk inkwell executed in the French Neoclassical tradition of the early 19th century, featuring an expressive sculptural composition depicting the god Pan seated on a stool and playing the double flute (syrinx). The figure is conceived in a refined, intimate manner characteristic of post-Napoleonic Neoclassicism, with emphasis on harmonious proportions, fluid lines, and a poetic interpretation of an Antique subject.The figure is cast in bronze with high-quality fire gilding. Particular attention is paid to anatomical accuracy, facial expression, hair, and drapery, softly enveloping the body and enhancing the sense of movement. Pan’s pose lacks the monumental rigidity of the Empire style and instead conveys liveliness and musical expressiveness, consistent with Neoclassical aesthetics enriched by early Romantic sensibilities.The base is carved from solid green marble with a vivid natural veining. The composition incorporates two symmetrically arranged inkwells with hinged lids surmounted by pinecone finials, a traditional Antique motif symbolizing fertility, vitality, and harmony with nature. The inkwells retain their original glass liners, preserved and suitable for practical use. The marble base rests on gilt bronze architectural feet, providing stability and a sense of formal completeness.Dimensions: Height 28 cm; Width 32 cm; Depth 23 cm.Materials: Gilt bronze; green marble; glass.Condition: Very good. Gilding largely preserved. Minor signs of age consistent with period. Marble without chips or evidence of restoration.Provenance: Private European collection.
