Lot 52
A pair of patinated bronze tripod atheniennes in the manner of ancient Pompeian examples, circa 1900, made for use as planters, each with a copper basin set into the circlet, applied with cast swagged bucrania mounts, supported above the wingtips of three seated sphinges, each atop a monopodial support with paw foot, conjoined by scrolling foliate cast supports, above a triform base; each athenienne with a later circular glass top 91cm high, 60cm wide CATALOGUE NOTES: Usage of bronze tripods extends back to the Bronze Age, when very simple examples were necessary as cooking pot stands over temporary cooking fires. Homer often mentions them in his Iliad and Odyssey epics, when they are used for preparing animal sacrifices to the gods, prior to the feast for the men. As items cast in bronze they were valuable 'high status' objects, and so are also mentioned as prizes in celebratory athletics games Far more decorative tripod atheniennes were produced during the Roman period and examples have been unearthed at Pompei. It is possible that the current pair were cast by the Neapolitan foundry Chiurazzi & Fils, which cast domestic objects excavated in the ruins as well as fine sculpture, to sell as souvenirs to wealthy northern Europeans engaged on their Grand Tours
