A handsome and high quality French Turn of the Century Neo-Classical st. Ormolu and Quartz statue of Aquarius, signed Antonin Carlès. This handsome statue is raised on an oval Quartz base which follows the contours of the Ormolu statue above. This young depiction of Aquarius (a.k.a. Ganymede to the Greeks) stands proudly with one hand on his hip and the other holding an Ormolu chalice. Aquarius was known for his great beauty, which is why he was brought to Olympus by Zeus to be his cup bearer for all eternity. A handsome panther, which is assigned to Aquarius in the Zodiac, lies comfortably at his feet with its tailed curled around his legs. Wonderful proportions and all original gilt throughout. — Read Less
