Likely 19th century, consisting of Cupid holding a bow in his raised left arm, seated on rocaille base, surrounded with two doves, a flaming torch, a quiver of arrows and a scroll column, cast and carved dinanderie, Louis XV Period. Fountainhead: 52 x 48 in.

The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jefferson Penn, Reidsville, NC

The Penns purchased the fountainhead in Paris with the understanding that it was originally at Versailles and possibly made by Louis Lerambert (French, 1630 - 1670). This lot is accompanied by an antique engraving illustrating a similar, possibly this same, sculpture by Lerambert in the Garden of Versailles.

Fair age appropriate condition with old repairs to Cupid's wrist and wings; Weathered patina.
