Ivory sculpture Virgin and Child Jesus crowned Parisian Ossant Paris 19th century
Articles
Small ivory sculpture representing a crowned Virgin and Child, the Child Jesus holding a terrestrial globe in his left hand, most certainly Parisian work, with old label Ossant Ivoires 57 rue Bonaparte Paris, from the 19th century.
This sculpture is in good condition, superb quality. Maison Ossant partnered with Heckmann (father) at this same address at the beginning of the 20th century, Pierre Heckmann being currently the last ivory maker in Paris (still in business).
Please note: accident and missing part on the crown, some dirt and wear from time, see photos.
Worked ivory specimen, prior to July 1, 1947 and therefore compliant with EC Regulation 338/97 of 09/12/1996 art.2-Wmc.
