One of a Kind Antique Carved Wood Group Statue Sculpture by Emile Boisseau

About the Item

Unique 19th century French wooden sculpture. This large and figural group is titled 'La Defense Du Foyer' which translates as 'the protection of the spous.' This impressive sculpture is in good and original condition and this ripped hunter defenitely looks ready to fight off anyone or anything threatening his spous. This sculpture is attributed to Emile Andre Boisseau (1842-1923) and probably was made in his studio as a preliminary study piece for later bronze castings. The original, warm brown patination is still as beautiful as it was when this work of art was just finished well over a 100 years ago.
