AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Art Deco Pheasant Sculpture in Pewter and Bronze on Marble Base, French, ca. 1925

A finely decorative Art Deco pheasant sculpture with contrasting bronze feet, and stands on a dark rectangular marble base.

The design is wonderfully typical of the interwar fascination with stylised animals: elegant, elongated and slightly theatrical. The pheasant’s long sweeping tail gives the piece its rhythm, while the engraved feather detailing around the neck, wings and tail adds a refined graphic quality. The silvery surface, bronze accents and deep marble base create a handsome contrast, giving the sculpture a distinct Art Deco presence.

This piece is suitable in many different interiors: decorative without becoming too ornate, and sculptural enough to sit beautifully on a sideboard, desk or in a bookcase I

The sculpture shows age-related patina, wear and surface variation, all in keeping with its age and material. The marble base has minor signs of age and use.

Style: Art Deco / decorative arts / animal sculpture
