AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A particularly decorative bronze sculpture of a strongly stylized owl, executed in the characteristic geometric vocabulary 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 interplay of lines changes, making the sculpture equally at home in a classical or a modern interior.
The design is linked in the art and auction market to the work of the Dutch sculptor Johan Coenraad Altorf (1876–1955). This specimen concerns a later bronze edition after the well-known design.
An important detail on this piece are the present markings:
* In bronze inscribed the designation “Coenrad”
* French founders/guarantee mark “JB Déposée – Bronze Garanti – Paris”
* Model/mold number A6917
The owl is rendered in bronze with a lovely dark brown patina. The subtle lighter accents on the protruding parts emphasize the sharp Art Deco forms and give the image additional depth.
The sculpture sits on a high black marble plinth with natural light veining, giving the whole a monumental and very elegant appearance.
A characterful work of art for the collector of Art Deco, modernist sculpture, bronze animal statues, and distinctive interior art.
