Description from the seller


This beautiful sculpture masterfully captures the grace and beauty of a gazelle at rest. The figure is made from zamac, a zinc alloy with a low melting point. This allows for very precise casting and the creation of highly refined figures. The material has developed a warm patina, predominantly dark bronze in appearance, complemented by light bronze accents. The figure is elegantly mounted on a marble pedestal.

The image is not signed. Based on the shapes, the materials used, and the similarity to comparable objects from that period, it can be dated to the early French Art Nouveau period between approximately 1890 and 1910. During that time, such objects were highly sought after in French salons.

The dimensions
18.5 cm high
- 30 cm breadth
10 cm deep
The weight is 2835 grams.

In excellent condition, no damages, minimal signs of use.
