Large and spectacular, this gilded bronze trophy cup in the Art Nouveau style was sculpted by Eugène Bourgouin for Christofle, and is richly decorated with Beaux Arts cartouches, projecting eagle heads and a profusion of swirling cloud motifs in bas relief. The lid to the bowl is surmounted by a nude male figure with his arms outstretched to the heavens. To our knowledge the cup is unique, and may have been awarded to someone who excelled in athletics, academia or government. Bourgouin is known for his bronzes in the Art Nouveau manner, and of course Christofle is renowned for its superb craftsmanship, having produced a wide variety of pieces in bronze, silver, glass and other materials for the home over the course of a century. The piece is signed on its base. See less
