ENTRYWAY COLLECTION - Grand Tour Style
This commanding large-scale bronze heroic warrior figure was cast by the renowned English firm Elkington & Co., leaders in 19th-century decorative metalwork. Measuring an impressive 31.75 inches high, the figure depicts this warrior in the Romantic Neoclassical style—nude but for a belt and cloak, with axe and shield at rest by his side, his arm raised in triumph.
The surface shows Elkington’s characteristic dark brown patina with subtle highlights, enhancing the finely detailed musculature, hair, and drapery. Inscribed on the base “Electro-Cast by Elkington & Co.”, this piece represents both the firm’s technical innovation and its role in bringing monumental art into Victorian homes.
COLLECTOR'S NOTE
Elkington patented the process of electroforming in 1840, which allowed them to “grow” a bronze surface layer over molds using electricity. This revolutionary method produced pieces that were so precise in detail they were often mistaken for traditional cast bronzes, and they were celebrated at the Great Exhibition of 1851.
