A Rare French Empire Cast Iron Fontaine de Cygne, early 19th c., probably Lyon, incurvate swan neck fountain head over a shell-form tazza, on a spiral column with acanthine and C-scroll foliate capital and molded base, height 46 1/2 in. Note: This fountain was inspired by the public fountains Napoleon I erected in Paris following his return from the Egyptian campaigns. One of the earliest fountains was the "Fontaine de Léda"- a bas relief stone plaque from which a swan`s neck protruded to form the water spigot. Two successive fountains, the "Fontaine du Palais des Arts" and "Chateau d`eau du boulevard Bondi", were largely made of cast-iron. Both fountains combined Neoclassical elements with stylized lions (influenced by Egyptian iconography). In the Palais des Arts fountain, designed by Vaudoyer, four cast-iron lions mounted on pedestals projected water into two basins. In the Chateau d`eau fountain, cast-iron lions spouted water into scalloped shaped basins, influenced by the tazzas in ancient Roman villas. The tazza, after the Greek kylix cup, was an architectural element not used in Parisian garden ornament a priori Girard`s design of the fountain. Cast-iron garden ornaments created before the Second Empire are more singular in aesthetic design, because foundries were not regulated until 1848. As specialist Barbara Israel points out in her book, it was quite common in the early to mid- nineteenth century for "customers to select and combine components according to their own taste."
