Description
,Early 20th Century
Three basin fountain with figural central column depicting a bare breasted woman sitting on top of an eagle with wings outstretched while she carries an acanthus leaf cornucopia on her shoulder. Top basin is decorated with flowers and wheat sheaths with two spouts that lead to the side basins, the fountain itself is supported by a decorative base with curled acanthus leaf feet.
Bronze,Approx. 92" t x 62 1/2" w x 32" d.
From the collection of an East Greenwich, Rhode Island estate.
Condition
Overall very nice original patina, very good quality casting. All arms and supports along with feet, strong and in good condition. There is a small 1/4" hole in top basin which shows a leak that has stained the surface in a form of a run down the cornucopia. The functionality is as the water rises and fills the top basin, it spills over each side into a lower bowl and then from there equally spills over the basin into the pond below. We have not seen the fountain function, we do not know the condition of tubing internally, although all appears to be fine according to consignor.
