CHAPU, Henri Michel Antoine, (French, 1833-1891): Patinated bronze figure of a maiden collecting flowers, signed at base. Inscribed with "F. Barbedienne Fondeur Paris," stamped Tiffany & Co, numbered 667, also inscribed "lere eprieuve plalre". Overall 27.5" h. x 15.25". Condition: There is some slight variance to the patina, it could use a proper cleaning, and there is verdigris inside the creases of the top of the dress, most likely from dust. From Duck & dolphin antiques in Key West, Florida. Paul Cox (1941-2019) was the driving force behind Duck & Dolphin Antiques, started his treasured collection in Manhattan in 1963. He would eventually move his shop several times through New Jersey, the new Hope Pennsylvania area, and finally Key West Florida. He saw many styles and movements come and go. There was not one he was not an enthusiast of. Growing up in the era of “populux,” he got his start as a dealer in the art nouveau revival of the 1960s under the tutelage of the great Lillian Nassau. He went on to dealing in the highest quality of French period antiques.
