Antoine Larroux (French, active 1880s–1910s) titled "Les Amants" (The Lovers), of gilt bronze figural inkwell cast by Susse Frères, Paris. Model no. 229 G, c. 1900.
The inkwell composition is emotive and fluid, with soft modeling typical of Larroux’s romantic Symbolist style. The integration of the figures into the terrain and the emotional intimacy align it firmly with Art Nouveau sculpture. The elongated horizontal format makes it ideal for a desk centerpiece.
While Larroux is less well-known than contemporaries like Carrier-Belleuse or Van der Straeten, his Susse editions are sought-after by collectors of Symbolist and Art Nouveau bronzes. Larroux was a French sculptor active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for romantic and Symbolist compositions in the Art Nouveau idiom.L: 13 1/2 in., (34.5 cm.)
