Sculpture, Triton blowing a conch shell - 51 cm - Bronze, Wood

Italian sculptor (17th–18th century) – Triton blowing a conch shell. 22 x 22 x 51 cm (height). Full-length figure in patinated bronze, set upon a *rocaille*-style base of carved and gilded wood. The Triton is depicted in an upright, dynamic pose, in the act of blowing a marine conch shell. The bronze casting is of high quality, featuring a precise rendering of the anatomy and decorative details. The wooden base—carved with *rocaille* motifs and finished in gold leaf—completes the composition, lending the piece an ornamental character typical of Italian craftsmanship between the 17th and 18th centuries. Objects of this nature were intended to furnish private studies, formal reception rooms, or libraries belonging to cultured patrons, where such mythological subjects served as a reference to the classical tradition and the ancient world. Condition report: In good overall condition. The bronze patina shows natural oxidation consistent with age. The gilded wooden base exhibits signs of wear and age-related degradation to the gilding.
