Zumel Bronces artísticos - Statue, Riding Native (Ginete a Caballo América). - 33 cm - Silvered bronze

Exceptional and very rare pure Art Deco-style desk sculpture depicting a Native American rider aerodynamically atop a galloping horse. The design is the work of the renowned French animalier sculptor Casimir Brau, worldwide known for his dynamic hood ornaments for luxury automobiles of the 1920s and 30s.
This piece belongs to an exclusive authorized mid-20th-century edition produced by the Madrid luxury foundry Bronces de Arte Zumel, historically based on Gran Vía in Madrid. The figure stands out for its avant-garde cubist geometric lines that masterfully capture the feeling of speed and fluid motion. A true showroom piece, highly sought after by collectors of 20th-century decorative arts due to its excellent condition, original factory assembly, and proven provenance.
Rare Art Deco Sculpture "Riding Native" - Casimir Brau for Bronces Zumel,

There is a slight slack or natural play due to time at the internal metal joint between the horse’s body and the central palm-support. It does not affect the beauty of the piece nor its stability on the base.
