Dating to circa 1930, this Art Deco sculpture depicts a pair of golden pheasants mounted on a rectangular black marble base with white veining. The cock pheasant displays a distinctive crested head, a cape of feathers at the back of the neck, and a long tail, accompanied by a plainer hen, both positioned amongst stylised grass. Cast in spelter, the figures possess a dark bronze and muted gold painted finish, and the entire assembly rests upon domed metal feet underneath the plinth. The sculpture measures 30.5 cm high, 82.5 cm wide, and 14 cm deep according to the provided dimensions. Well-suited for a mantelpiece or a display console table, this piece brings a defined period aesthetic to a living room, hallway, or study. The contrasting textures of the patinated metal figures and the polished marble plinth create a strong visual element appropriate for traditional or mid-century interior settings. It integrates easily into surfaces with sufficient depth to accommodate its width, serving as a distinct focal point within a room scheme.

FAQs

Art Deco animalier sculpture emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, defined by streamlined geometric forms, simplified anatomical contours, and a departure from strict naturalism in favour of modern decorative stylisation.

Sculptures from this period were commonly crafted from patinated bronze, spelter alloy, or cold-painted metal, frequently mounted onto contrasting polished bases made from Belgian black marble, onyx, or slate.

Authentic pieces feature crisp geometric rendering, original patination with minor surface wear consistent with age, substantial weight from solid metal and stone bases, and period-appropriate mounting hardware beneath the plinth.

Place the sculpture as a focal anchor on a fireplace mantelpiece, credenza, or executive desk, pairing it with clean-lined contemporary furnishings or dark timber accents to highlight its horizontal silhouette.

Dust regularly using a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a thin layer of microcrystalline wax annually to protect the surface patina, avoiding water, chemical polishes, or abrasive cleaning solvents.
