Carrier Belleuse. A late 19th century French ormolu bust of a young woman, with ribbon tied hair, signed in the bronze, seated upon a bronze socle and rouge marble plinth, height 11.75in. CONDITION: Overall a little rubbed from polishing over the years with the extremities of the gilt rubbed to the bare metal and oxidisation in the crevices, socle discoloured, looks to have had a **** matted gilding at one point, marble plinth with a small chip to the top front edge, and otherwise rather dirty.
