Early 20th Century Lead Putti Fountain, Circa 1920
-
Description
A charming early 20th century lead garden fountain featuring a delightful putti figure supporting a scalloped basin. Dating to around 1920, this piece captures the romantic appeal of classical garden ornamentation.
The figure stands gracefully atop a naturalistic base, with arms raised to hold the shallow dish, from which water once gently flowed. The lead has developed a beautifully weathered surface with a soft patina, characteristic of antique outdoor elements. Some restoration has been carried out, which is typical and expected for lead fountains of this age and material.
An endearing and decorative addition to any garden, terrace, or conservatory, this fountain evokes the timeless charm of early 20th century European landscape design, whether used as a working fountain or simply as a sculptural accent, it brings a sense of timeless elegance. -
