Description
Pietro Bazzanti (Italian 1825-1895)
Late 19th Century
The life-sized carrara marble model of Venus surprised at her bath is after the ancient sculptures excavated from sites throughout Italy and other areas of Europe. This work is signed P. Bazzanti Florence back side of the base.
Measures 34.75 x 19 x 14 inches.
Provenance: The collection of Josephine Bird Hall (1888 - 1948) by descent to her son, the present owner. Josephine's father was a founder of Kansas City's Emery, Bird, Thayer Department Store.
AN ABSENTEE BID PLACED IN ADVANCE COULD LOSE TO A LIVE BID OF EQUAL AMOUNT PLACED LATER. First bid precedence is not possible in auctions that incorporate live bidding via multiple online platforms, live bidders participating in the sale room and live telephone bidders. The only ways to avoid the possibility of losing the bid in this manner is to attend the live auction or bid absentee with plus-one option.
Be aware that internet sales tax applies to all Internet transactions and local sales tax may apply to local pick-up transactions.
Please be aware that this lot is too large to ship by conventional carrier such as UPS, USPS or FedEx and will instead require local pick-up, delivery by a freight carrier or delivery by a blanket-wrap shipper. The cost most likely will not be low.
