French Art Deco sculpture from the 1920s–1930s, depicting two gazelles in a dynamic, stylised composition, mounted on a heavy two-tone marble base and crafted in patinated metal (zamak).
Description from the seller
Splendid and authentic French Art Deco sculpture from the flowering period of animalier art (the 1920s–1930s). This elegant artwork shows a dynamic and stylized composition of two gazelles (or antelopes): one gracefully standing with its head held proudly high, and a second depicted as serene and resting.
The sculpture perfectly reflects the typical Art Deco aesthetics with its clean, streamlined forms and focus on natural grace.
Features and materials:
• Figures: Made of high-quality patinated metal (zamak/régule) with a beautiful, deep dark-brown patina that has developed naturally over the years.
• Pedestal: The asymmetrical composition rests on a heavy, multi-layer marble base with refined veining, providing a luxurious appearance and excellent stability.
• Style: French École Animalière, Art Deco.
• Origin: France.
Condition:
The object is in good, original condition with age-related and use wear inherent to its nearly century-old age. The patina has a wonderfully well-worn character and the marble is structurally fully intact (see the detail photos for an accurate personal impression).
A timeless and highly decorative collector's item that immediately adds a classic 1920s/30s atmosphere to any modern or classic interior.
