A beautiful and large Art Deco style sculpture depicting a prowling panther. This French piece perfectly captures the essence of the 1920s and 30s Animalier movement, characterized by stylized forms and a sense of powerful, silent movement. The panther is rendered in a deep, high-gloss black glaze that accentuates its muscular silhouette and streamlined "streamline moderne" design. The feline is depicted in a low, predatory stance, creeping over a rocky terrain base. This sculpture is an excellent decorative statement piece, fitting perfectly in both classic Art Deco interiors and modern minimalist settings. Condition: In very good vintage condition. The glaze retains a magnificent shine. No chips or cracks visible (please refer to the photos for a detailed view of the surfaces and base, the photos are part of the description).
