Antique Hercules Grand Tour Bronze Sculpture

Unavailable

This Grand Tour bronze statue of Hercules, no doubt inspired by the Farnese Hercules with the figure leaning against his club and lion cape, dates from the 19th or possibly the 18th century.  It has a wonderful patina of dark brown patina with gold/red highlights. It measures 27 by 16 by 10 inches (68.6 by 40.6 by 25.4 cm) and weighs an estimated 50+ lbs. There are no hallmarks.  Likely of Italian or French origin.  In fine condition, with usual degree of rubbing wear and scratches, fine aged patina and some limited spots of verdigris on underside.
