AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Panther on the Prowl (French: Panthère à l’affût / big cat)
An expressive bronze sculpture of a big cat (panther/leopard) lying in wait, alert and with its head lowered. The musculature and tail are rendered in a naturalistic style. The sculpture is clearly signed “L. CARVIN” along the edge of the bronze base.
Artist: Louis-Albert Carvin (1875–1951)
Country of origin: France
Year of production: Circa 1930
Period: Interwar period / Art Deco era (early 20th century)
Style: Art Deco / Animalier (traditional French animal sculpture)
Technique: Traditional bronze casting with fine hand chasing and a warm patina, mounted on natural stone.
Material: Patinated bronze and a multicolored, black-marble-effect marble base.
Approximate dimensions:
Sculpture: Height 11 cm, length 14.2 cm, depth 4.8 cm
Overall dimensions (with base): Height 17.2 cm
Base: Height 7 cm, width 12 cm, depth 6.8 cm
Condition: Good vintage condition commensurate with age, with a lovely patina. The new detail photo shows a small age-related knock or minor chip on the edge of the marble base (at the top left, beside the paw), which is common with antique stone bases but only subtly affects the overall appearance.
Shipping: Will be securely packaged for transport and shipped insured.
