Sculptuur is het driedimensionale kunstwerk dat fysiek wordt gepresenteerd in de afmetingen hoogte, breedte en diepte. Het is een van de beeldende kunsten. Duurzame sculpturale processen maakten oorspronkelijk gebruik van snijwerk (het verwijderen van materiaal) en modelleren (het toevoegen van materiaal, zoals klei), in steen, metaal, keramiek, hout en andere materialen, maar sinds het modernisme bestaat er vrijwel volledige vrijheid van materialen en processen . Een grote verscheidenheid aan materialen kan worden bewerkt door verwijdering, zoals snijwerk, samengesteld door lassen of modelleren, of gegoten of gegoten.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"19th-century-girl-carrying-flower-baskets-sculpture-signed-auguste-moreau","title":"19th Century Girl Carrying Flower Baskets, Sculpture Signed Auguste Moreau","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"etc-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"etc-description\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\" size=\"4\" rwr=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\" rwr=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis exquisite 19th Century Auguste Moreau sculpture proudly displays a graceful young girl supporting an elegant wicker basket in each hand.

He was commissioned as an ensign in the British Army in 1787, serving in Ireland as aide-de-camp to two successive lords' lieutenants of Ireland. He was also elected as a member of Parliament in the Irish House of Commons. He was a colonel by 1796 and saw action in the Netherlands and in India, where he fought in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War at the Battle of Seringapatam. He was appointed governor of Seringapatam and Mysore in 1799 and, as a newly appointed major-general, won a decisive victory over the Maratha Confederacy at the Battle of Assaye in 1803.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWellesley rose to prominence as a general during the Peninsular campaign of the Napoleonic Wars, and was promoted to the rank of field marshal after leading the allied forces to victory against the French Empire at the Battle of Vitoria in 1813. Following Napoleon's exile in 1814, he served as the ambassador to France and was granted a dukedom. During the Hundred Days in 1815, he commanded the allied army which, together with a Prussian Army under Blucher, defeated Napoleon at Waterloo.

After the end of his active military career, he returned to politics. He was twice British prime minister as a member of the Tory party from 1828 to 1830 and for a little less than a month in 1834.

the assured academic manner characteristic of late-Victorian civic portraiture.

His reign of 72 years and 110 days is the longest of any sovereign in history whose date is verifiable. Although Louis XIV's France was emblematic of the Age of Absolutism in Europe the King surrounded himself with a variety of significant political, military, and cultural figures, such as Bosses, Colbert, Le Bruno, Le Note, Lully, Mazarin, Molière, Racine, Turbine, and Vauban.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLouis began his personal rule of France in 1661, after the death of his chief minister, the Cardinal Mazarin.[4]An adherent of the concept of the divine right of kings, Louis continued his predecessors' work of creating a centralized state governed from the capital. He sought to eliminate the remnants of feudalism persisting in parts of France; by compelling many members of the nobility to inhabit his lavish Palace of Versailles, he succeeded in pacifying the aristocracy, many members of which had participated in the Fronde during his minority. By these means he became one of the most powerful French monarchs and consolidated a system of absolute monarchy in France that endured until the French Revolution. Louis also enforced uniformity of religion under the Gallic an Catholic Church. His revocation of the Edict of Nantes abolished the rights of the Huguenot Protestant minority and subjected them to a wave of dragonflies, effectively forcing Huguenots to emigrate or convert, as well as virtually destroying the French Protestant community.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuring Louis's long reign, France emerged as the leading European power and regularly asserted its military strength. A conflict with Spain marked his entire childhood, while during his personal rule, the kingdom took part in three major continental conflicts, each against powerful foreign alliances: the Franco-Dutch War, the Nine Years' War, and the War of the Spanish Succession. In addition, France also contested shorter wars, such as the War of Devolution and the War of the Reunions. Warfare defined Louis's foreign policy and his personality shaped his approach. Impelled by \"a mix of commerce, revenge, and pique\", he sensed that war was the ideal way to enhance his glory. In peacetime, he concentrated on preparing for the next war. He taught his diplomats that their job was to create tactical and strategic advantages for the French military.[5]Upon his death in 1715, Louis XIV left his great-grandson and successor, Louis XV, a powerful kingdom, albeit in major debt after the War of the Spanish Succession that had raged on since 1701.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignificant achievements during his reign which would go on to have a wide influence on the early modern period well into the Industrial Revolution and until today, include the construction of the Canal du Midi, the patronage of artists, and the founding of the French Academy of Sciences. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRef source wiki\/Louis_XIV.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition report.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffered in fine used patina wear condition.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe offer our clients exceptional professional customer service.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational worldwide shipping is available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViewings are welcome by appointment only for customer support please send a message thank you.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrowse our other exciting Fine Arts, antiques \u0026amp; collectibles available in our shop gallery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions in centimetres\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight (21cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth (10.5cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth of base (6.3 cm)\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43769690718461,"sku":"k695","price":2850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0201\/2227\/1808\/products\/french-19th-century-antique-bronze-model-bust-of-louis-xiv-126464.jpg?v=1687011853"},{"product_id":"french-19th-century-gilt-bronze-eagle-bird-letter-seal-stamp-sculpture","title":"French 19th Century Gilt Bronze Eagle Bird Letter Seal Stamp Sculpture","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSend messages with style and a golden touch!

About 3,000 extant species of true dragonflies are known. Most are tropical, with fewer species in temperate regions. Loss of wetland habitat threatens dragonfly populations around the world. Adult dragonflies are characterized by a pair of large, multifaceted, compound eyes, two pairs of strong, transparent wings, sometimes with colored patches, and an elongated body. Many dragonflies have brilliant iridescent or metallic colors produced by structural coloration, making them conspicuous in flight. An adult dragonfly's compound eyes have nearly 24,000 ommatidia each.\u003cbr\u003eDragonflies are predatory insects, both in their aquatic nymph stage (also known as \"naiads\") and as adults. In some species, the nymph stage lasts up to five years, and the adult stage may be as long as 10 weeks, but most species have an adult lifespan in the order of five weeks or fewer, and some survive for only a few days. They are fast, agile fliers capable of highly accurate aerial ambush, sometimes migrating across oceans, and often live near water.

He has finished many other life-size bronzes which stand in a variety of different countries, like Canada, Japan, Ireland, France, Australia as well as the UK. His present day works have been to produce Persian Punch \u0026amp; Best Mate for New market Racecourse and a dressage horse for an equestrian center based in Penang, Malaysia.

His 1667 epic poem Paradise Lost, written in blank verse and including over ten chapters, was written in a time of immense religious flux and political upheaval. It addressed the fall of man, including the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and God's expulsion of them from the Garden of Eden. Paradise Lost elevated Milton's reputation as one of history's greatest poets.He also served as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMilton achieved fame and recognition during his lifetime; his celebrated Areopagitica (1644), written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship, is among history's most influential and impassioned defences of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. His desire for freedom extended beyond his philosophy and was reflected in his style, which included his introduction of new words (coined from Latin and Ancient Greek) to the English language. He was the first modern writer to employ unrhymed verse outside of the theatre or translations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMilton is described as the \"greatest English author\" by biographer William Hayley, and he remains generally regarded \"as one of the preeminent writers in the English language\", though critical reception has oscillated in the centuries since his death often on account of his republicanism. Samuel Johnson praised Paradise Lost as \"a poem which...with respect to design may claim the first place, and with respect to performance, the second, among the productions of the human mind\", though he (a Tory) described Milton's politics as those of an \"acrimonious and surly republican\". Milton was revered by poets such as William Blake, William Wordsworth, and Thomas Hardy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePhases of Milton's life parallel the major historical and political divisions in Stuart England at the time. In his early years, Milton studied at Christ's College at the University of Cambridge, one of the world's most prestigious universities, and then travelled, wrote poetry mostly for private circulation, and launched a career as pamphleteer and publicist under Charles I's increasingly autocratic rule and Britain's breakdown into constitutional confusion and ultimately civil war. While once considered dangerously radical and heretical, Milton contributed to a seismic shift in accepted public opinions during his life that ultimately elevated him to public office in England. The Restoration of 1660 and his loss of vision later deprived Milton much of his public platform, but he used the period to develop many of his major works.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMilton's views developed from extensive reading, travel, and experience that began with his days as a student at Cambridge in the 1620s and continued through the English Civil War, which started in 1642 and continued until 1651. By the time of his death in 1674, Milton was impoverished and on the margins of English intellectual life but famous throughout Europe and unrepentant for political choices that placed him at odds with governing authorities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition report.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOffered in fine used patina wear worn condition with some scratches, stains, couple of very small holes 1 on top of his head and 1 around his back area.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe offer our clients exceptional professional customer service.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInternational worldwide shipping is available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrowse our other exciting Fine Arts, antiques \u0026amp; collectibles available in our shop gallery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDimensions in centimetres\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHeight (20.5 cm)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWidth (14 cm)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDepth of base (9.3 cm)\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44146390630653,"sku":"k1102","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0201\/2227\/1808\/products\/19th-century-john-milton-sculpture-signed-french-sculptor-ernest-eugene-hiolle-931054.jpg?v=1697273288"},{"product_id":"equine-bronze-race-horses-jockeys-galloping-triumph-hurdle-cheltenham-festival-1967-sculpture","title":"Equine Bronze Race Horses \u0026 Jockeys Galloping Triumph Hurdle Cheltenham Festival 1967 Sculpture","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"card card-bordered has-mb-16 md-mb-20 lg-mb-30\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card-block\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroducing our stunning Equine Bronze Race Horses \u0026amp; Jockeys Galloping at the Triumph Hurdle Cheltenham Festival in 1967 Sculpture.

After three years he returned to school, before he began his literary career as a journalist. Dickens edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed readings extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, for education, and for other social reforms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDickens's literary success began with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers, a publishing phenomenon—thanks largely to the introduction of the character Sam Weller in the fourth episode—that sparked Pickwick merchandise and spin-offs.

His novels, most of them published in monthly or weekly installments, pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication.

Apart from two years between 1922 and 1924, he was a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1900 to 1964 and represented a total of five constituencies. Ideologically an economic liberal and imperialist, he was for most of his career a member of the Conservative Party, which he led from 1940 to 1955. He was a member of the Liberal Party from 1904 to 1924.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOf mixed English and American parentage, Churchill was born in Oxfordshire to a wealthy, aristocratic family. He joined the British Army in 1895 and saw action in British India, the Anglo-Sudan War, and the Second Boer War, gaining fame as a war correspondent and writing books about his campaigns. Elected a Conservative MP in 1900, he defected to the Liberals in 1904. In H. H. Asquith's Liberal government, Churchill served as President of the Board of Trade and Home Secretary, championing prison reform and workers' social security. As First Lord of the Admiralty during the First World War, he oversaw the Gallipoli Campaign but, after it proved a disaster, he was demoted to Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. He resigned in November 1915 and joined the Royal Scots Fusiliers on the Western Front for six months.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn 1917, he returned to government under David Lloyd George and served successively as Minister of Munitions, Secretary of State for War, Secretary of State for Air, and Secretary of State for the Colonies, overseeing the Anglo-Irish Treaty and British foreign policy in the Middle East.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut of government during his so-called \"wilderness years\" in the 1930s, Churchill took the lead in calling for British rearmament to counter the growing threat of militarism in Nazi Germany. At the outbreak of the Second World War he was re-appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. In May 1940, he became Prime Minister, succeeding Neville Chamberlain. Churchill formed a national government and oversaw British involvement in the Allied war effort against the Axis powers, resulting in victory in 1945. After the Conservatives' defeat in the 1945 general election, he became Leader of the Opposition. Amid the developing Cold War with the Soviet Union, he publicly warned of an \"iron curtain\" of Soviet influence in Europe and promoted European unity. Between his terms as Prime Minister, he wrote several books recounting his experience during the war. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe lost the 1950 election, but was returned to office in 1951. His second term was preoccupied with foreign affairs, especially Anglo-American relations and preservation of what remained of the British Empire with India now no longer part of it. Domestically, his government emphasised housebuilding and completed the development of a nuclear weapon (begun by his predecessor). In declining health, Churchill resigned as Prime Minister in 1955, remaining an MP until 1964. Upon his death in 1965, he was given a state funeral.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidely considered one of the 20th century's most significant figures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaving such a beautiful finish with charming patina.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvenance from a high end auction in the southern Shires.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition report.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffered in fine used condition.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaving various charming patina general wear, scuffs, scratches commensurate with usage and old age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational buyers worldwide shipping is available.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe offer our clients exceptional professional customer service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrowse our exciting other Fine Art, antiques \u0026amp; collectibles available in our gallery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions in centimetres\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight (18 cm) \u003cbr\u003eWidth of base (13 cm) \u003cbr\u003eDepth of base (13 cm)        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45157024104701,"sku":"k1249","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0201\/2227\/1808\/files\/gps_generated_82f37e9e-cdfd-4a84-9955-21395996eae2.png?v=1716057511"},{"product_id":"louis-lejeune-chrome-plated-1930s-racing-greyhound-of-the-road-classic-mascot","title":"Art Deco Louis Lejeune Chrome Plated Greyhound Of The Road Classic Mascot Sculpture","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003eEmbrace the nostalgia of the 1930's with this original  Art Deco era Louis Lejeune Chrome Plated Racing Greyhound Mascot Sculpture .

Little is known about his early years, but more is known about his later life. Lorenzl started his career working at a foundry at the Vienna Arsenal where he learned the techniques of bronze casting. The Vienna Arsenal was a military storage complex located in the south-eastern part of Vienna.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhile at the Vienna Arsenal, Lorenzl produced many bronze and chryselephantine sculptures, the latter using both bronze and ivory, and captivated by the female form he became famed for his shapely dancing girls with long, elegant legs and closed eyes. These pieces of his were signed \"Enzl\", \"Lor\", \"R. Lor\", \"Renz\" or \"Renzl\". Occasionally the name \"Crejo\" appears on his pieces, Crejo having been a painter and one of Lorenzl's friends, and who sometimes applied colour to the pieces. These joint works are sought-after items.The large majority of Lorenzl's figurines were attached to Brazilian green onyx plinths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLorenzl's talents also extended to being a gifted ceramicist. He produced pieces for Goldscheider, working from a studio on company grounds. As with his chryselephantine pieces, his ceramic works were in great demand and became the embodiment of the Art Déco period. Famous amongst these is \"The Butterfly Girl\" after the famous dancer Niddy Impekoven from the 1920s. Lorenzl also worked for two other Viennese firms, Porzellanfabrik Hertwig \u0026amp; Co. and Keramos Porcelain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'Keramos' or 'Wiener Kunst-Keramik und Porzellan Manufaktur AG' was founded in 1910 by several disabled war veterans, subsidised by Austria and later became a public company, directed by Otto Köller, and Rudof and Heinrich Wolf.
