TWIN BRONZE CLASSICAL DOLPHINS
Presented are
two antique cast bronze dolphins, which aredecidedly British
in appearance, and are intended to be used to draw
attention to an object or increase its importance.
They stand 17 inches tall, are
3 inches deep and 8 3/4 inches wide at the base. They weigh 21 1/2 pounds each.
They also may be used as door stops or in variousother ways that are limited only by
your imagination.
Here they are shown side-by-side, and
below is shown the reverse which exposes the molds cavity. You can see the foundry’s mark
near the base of each. It is a tiny fish.
MADE: Since these these dolphins were never intended to be used as
andirons and since no others have been found to exist in this
configuration, they likely were custom made for the type of use we’ve explained.
