This Art Deco sculpture depicts two stylised deer, one standing and the other reclining, mounted on a rectangular plinth. Created in France circa 1930, the piece belongs to the Art Deco movement and employs mixed media construction. The figures consist of patinated spelter finished in dark bronze with amber-coloured horns, while the base combines a black marble block with a cream and amber onyx top surface. The standing deer arches its neck toward the resting companion, showcasing sleek contours and smooth metallic surfaces. Natural veining patterns run through the black marble base, and subtle surface variations appear across the metal bodies. Measuring approximately 40 cm in length, this decorative figurine suits placement on a living room sideboard, a hallway console table, or a study mantelpiece.

FAQs

Popularised during the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco animalier sculptures focus on streamlined, geometric forms and stylized animal figures, often capturing movement or serene poses.

Sculptors frequently utilised speltera zinc alloyas an alternative to bronze, often mounting the patinated metal figures onto plinths crafted from marble, onyx, or slate.

Authentic period pieces display crisp geometric lines on stone bases, feature patinated or cold-painted finishes, and feel lighter in weight compared to solid bronze works.

Position the sculpture as a focal point on a polished wooden sideboard, a fireplace mantelpiece, or a dark leather office desk to complement contemporary or mid-century aesthetics.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth, avoiding water or abrasive chemical cleansers that can damage delicate metal patinas or strip marble polish.
