Condition
Very good condition overall. Minor surface dirt and oxydation to the silver Virgin and little remain of dirt to the signature which can be easily removed with cleaning. Minor wear to the gilding in the crevisses of the little colonnettes flanking the Virgin. Very attractive piece.

Catalogue Note
Né à Madrid en 1834, Placido Zuloaga est issu d'une famille d'armuriers. A l'âge de 14 ans, il se rendit à Paris pour être formé auprès de Henri Lepage comme Arquebusier du Roi. Avec son père Eusebio, Placido participa aux Expositions Universelles à Londres (1851), Paris (1855), Bruxelles (1856) et Vienne (1857-58). Parmi ses oeuvres les plus importantes, il faut mentionner une pendule réalisée en 1865 pour Napoléon III à la demande de la reine d'Espagne Marie-Christine de Bourbon. Un important vase en fer damasciné de Placido Zuloagan, datant de 1881, a été vendu chez Sotheby's à Londres, lot 120.
