An English lead garden fountain, circa 1920, featuring a putti figure supporting a scalloped basin. The figure stands on a naturalistic base, arms raised to hold the shallow dish from which water once flowed — a composition in the tradition of European garden fountain design stretching back to the Baroque period. The lead has developed a beautifully soft, silvery patina through a century of outdoor exposure, characteristic of well-aged English garden lead. Some restoration has been carried out, consistent with what is typical and expected for lead work of this age and material. An endearing and decorative fountain for a garden, terrace, or conservatory.
