Description

Presented here is one of the finest sculptures we have had to date. It is the epitomy of great Art Deco design, showing all the signs of a classic, both in style, quality and presence. This is Diana the Huntress, a theme often repeated in Art Deco folklore. What makes this piece so great: It has the style, the size and all the elements. First, the quality is great, brass metal with special green patina, very heavy and all well made. Secondly, the movement of the pieces shows the elegance of what we understand as style, substance equalling Art Deco. Diana is in a wonderful pose, one leg up with the most fluid bow shape I've seen on a sculpture. As she effortlessly shoots the leaping Antelope, whose antlers also grace and compliment the angled stepped concrete cast base. The designer, most likely is Max Le Verrier, it is from the foundry and he was so famous for creating the epic Art Deco sculptures now associated with this great Art Deco period in France. Circa 1930's. The base was made by the artist "Demarco" who was known for producing these kind of bases and also as artist in his own right working with this kind of material.
