AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique sculpture in full Art Deco style (circa 1920–1930), depicting a hunting dog (English Pointer) in a compact and proud standing pose. The work magnificently captures the muscular tension and the aerodynamic elegance of the animal, elements typical of the famous early 20th-century Animalier sculpture movement. The sculpture is made in antimony alloy with a beautiful original dark patina from the period, originally gold-plated. The base is a solid slab of fine veined light gray marble, which still preserves its perfect and bright original polish. The sculpture is in excellent structural condition. The tail and ears are intact, fused into a single block. The marble shows only minimal signs of time. The mounting under the base is strictly implemented with its original slotted screws, consistent with the craftsmanship of the first half of the 20th century. Maximum height: 29 cm. Maximum length: 31 cm. Weight: 3 kg. Medium-large sized object, of great visual impact and stage presence for interior decor.
