G. Hervor (Jean de Roncourt) - Sculpture, Sigfrido - Le forgeron - 38 cm - Belgian black marble

Art Deco Sculpture: depicting Sigfried forging his sword Notung. The figure is made of zamak and mounted on a beautiful elliptical Belgian black marble, with the bar being forged in brass. The work is unsigned, possibly due to a change of base, but in other reproductions it appeared with the signature G. Hervor. The artist to whom, in the antique market, that signature is systematically attributed is Jean de Roncourt, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, considered the best-known French sculptor of the male figure in the 1920s-1930s. Curiously, and again, there are no biographical data about Jean De Roncourt, being in turn a pseudonym. Measurements: 50x19 cm, Height 38 cm. Weight approximately 9 kg without packaging. Note: for safety, the figure is shipped disassembled, and its assembly is straightforward, requiring only to tighten three nuts that secure the figure to the marble.
