A Rare Pair of Cornelius and
A Rare Pair of Cornelius and Baker Patinated Metal Figures of "The Departure" and "The Return" mid-19th c. each marked "Cornelius and Baker" at base on original circular wood bases height 13 1/4 in. width 8 in. depth 7 3/4 in. and height 12 3/4 in. width 7 in. depth 6 1/2 in. respectively. Note: The figures offered here are identical to those found in an informative article by Donald L. Fennimore. Typically these figures were interchangeable as lighting components or as parlor sculpture. A pair of these rare figures is still atop the gas wall brackets in the Vermont State House. Cornelius & Baker advertised these types as "bronze" though they were made of zinc and patinated to appear as bronze. "The Departure" and "The Return" have a duality in the representation of Manifest Destiny and honorable service in the Civil War. Reference: Antiques and Fine Arts Autumn/Winter 2010 "Cornelius & Baker's Answer to the Rage for Parlor Sculpture" Donald L. Fennimore pp. 150-156 figs. 3 & 4.
