An unusual piece of whimsy as a frog pulls a stunning shell. Variations on than them are far and wide. I’ve seen one done in bronze while another was done in ceramic. This one is beautiful and allegedly attributed to Paul-Francois Louchet. Although known as a painter Louchet was also recognized for ornamental art and as a bronze founder.
Is it art noveau or something between Victorian and Art Noveau? Hard to say, you be the final judge - if you must!
