Birds & Animals
Prowling Panther by Rochard
Fabulous bronze prowling panther by Rochard dating from around 1935. The stealthy movement of this super-sleek creature has been so cleverly captured, with the leading paw of the animal just clear of the ground. With…
Art Deco Antelopes
Large, crackle-glazed ceramic pair of antelopes running and leaping side by side, by the French artist Charles Lemanceau who was a noted animal sculptor. Dating from circa 1935 with the Lemanceau name clearly marked at…
Terracotta Panther
Fine terracotta study of a prowling panther. You can almost feel the stealth in his steady, quiet progress across the rocky terrain. The artist obviously studied these animals at some length as this sculpture is…
Art Deco Bronze Camel and Rider
Truly magnificent bronze sculpture of a racing camel being ridden at speed by a nubian warrior, sword and shield in hand. This is a fabulous and rare study and, although unsigned, we know it to…
Bronze Panther by Masson
This powerful sculpture, signed by the artist C. Masson, offers a slightly different slant on the usual sleek panther theme. The animal’s rippling muscles are clearly highlighted to great effect as he slowly moves forward…
Good Dog
Great looking, seated German Shepherd dog of somewhat stylised form, ears pricked and seemingly at the alert. This is a simple but very pleasing sculpture cast in spelter and with nice aged patination. Unsigned but a…
Bronze Panther by Gaby
Good bronze study from around 1920 or perhaps a little earlier of a quietly watchful panther by the Belgian animalier H. Gaby. Something seems to have caught the attention of this good looking animal as…

Stag and Doe by Carvin*
Art Deco bronzed and green patinated art metal stag and doe by Louis-Albert Carvin, titled ‘Cervi’. Dating from around 1930, this is a fine sculpture that captures the closeness between the pair as the stag,…
Pair of Spelter Panthers*
An unusual find, this one – a matching pair of spelter panthers each set on a light brown variegated marble base. Unsigned but the artist, whoever he was, has carefully stylised the animals imbuing them…
Alsatian by Carvin*
Realistic figure of an Alsatian by the French sculptor Louis Carvin. This fine looking dog is standing at the alert on what looks to be rocky terrain, with his ears pricked and sniffing the air.…
Cartier Bronze Lion*
An impressive bronze study of a watchful lion standing on a naturalistic rocky mound, sculpted by the Marseilles born animalier Thomas-François Cartier (1879-1943). This artist, who was a gold medal winner at the 1927 Salon…
Leaping Panther*
Dark bronze coloured spelter panther leaping over green onyx rocks. Beautifully sleek lines so typical of the better examples of this subject. The two piece marble base is unusually shaped, coming to a point at…
Panther Pair*
An appealing pair of Art Deco cold-painted spelter panthers which, although unmarked, were almost certainly cast at the Le Verrier foundry in the late 1930’s. A peaceful scene as the animals who, it’s clear to…
Hold that Tiger*
Unusual and nicely finished cold painted spelter tiger on a very attractive marble base. The animal is stealthily moving forward as though having just picked up the scent of his next meal. There is no…
Cute Cubs*
Really cute pair of Art Deco lion or panther cubs – brother and sister perhaps – sitting next to each other and looking rather sleepy. Made of spelter and patinated in a dark pewter colour…
