Description from the seller
Vintage Bronze-Patinated Bust of a WWII Era Aviator – Signed "La Croix"
Detailed Description:
A compelling vintage bust depicting a World War II era pilot (aviator) in full flight gear. The figure is captured in a classic heroic pose, featuring meticulously detailed equipment including a leather flying helmet (Fliegerhaube), aviation goggles, and parachute harness straps.
The piece is finished with a high-quality bronze patina that gives it a heavy, metallic appearance, though its weight (375g) suggests a professional cold-cast or composite material, typical for high-end mid-century decorative collectibles.
Key Features:
Subject: Military Aviation / WWII Pilot
Artist/Maker: Signed "La Croix" on the reverse base.
Material: Composite/Resin with a rich bronze-toned patina.
Dimensions/Weight: Weighs approximately 375 grams.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The surface shows a beautiful aged patina with minor authentic wear consistent with age, which enhances its character.
Expert Note for Collectors:
This bust is a perfect addition to any Militaria or Aviation history collection. The signature "La Croix" points to a European (likely French) origin, making it a sophisticated display piece for a library, office, or historical display.
Who is "La Croix"? The name most often appears on French decorative objects from the mid-20th century (circa 1950–1970). Style: His works are often "heroic" - depicting soldiers, pilots or historical figures. Material: Most often it is the so-called "Régule" (white metal
