An Art Deco bronze owl sculpture by Johan Coenraad Altorf (1876–1955), cast in bronze with a dark brown patina on a black marble plinth, signed Coenrad, stamped JB Déposée – Bronze Garanti – Paris, model A6917, with dimensions 32.7 × 7.8 × 8.4 cm.
Description from the seller
A particularly decorative bronze sculpture of a strongly stylized owl, executed in the characteristic geometric language of Art Deco.
The powerful, almost architectural lines of the head, the large stylized eyes and the elongated silhouette give the sculpture an impressive presence. From every angle the line work changes, so the sculpture fits just as well in a classical as in a modern interior.
The design is associated in the art and auction market with the work of the Dutch sculptor Johan Coenraad Altorf (1876–1955). This example concerns a later bronze rendition of the well-known design.
An important detail on this specimen are the markings:
* In the bronze-applied designation “Coenrad”
* French founders/guarantee mark “JB Déposée – Bronze Garanti – Paris”
* Model/mold number A6917
The owl is rendered in bronze with a handsome dark brown patina. The subtle lighter accents on the protruding parts emphasize the sharp Art Deco forms and give the sculpture extra depth.
The sculpture stands on a high black marble plinth with natural light veining, giving the whole a monumental and very elegant appearance.
A characterful art object for the collector of Art Deco, modernist sculpture, bronze animal figures and distinctive interior art.
