Antique German Silver Rococo Fantasy Goat-Harnessed Cupid Coach
-
Description
German Rococo silver coach. Imported to England by Berthold Muller in 1903. Cupid (Love) is in the driver’s seat but struggles to control the reins of a harnessed goat. A frisky metaphor expertly detailed in the goat’s bowed head and twisting horns, and Cupid’s bare bottom and dangling calves. A fantasy vehicle in the spirit of the 18th century. Wheels rotate for fast arrival. Hanau maker’s stamp (Neresheimer) and English sterling-standard import marks with Chester assay stamp. Very good condition.
