Description

An exceptionally rare and highly sought-after Art Deco cubist panther by A. Notari, a striking example of the sculptor’s distinctive stylised approach to the animal form. The sculpture is signed to the panther’s tail.

Dating to circa 1930, the panther is beautifully cast in cold-painted spelter, retaining its original multi-coloured marble and onyx stepped base. The bold geometric treatment and strong, angular silhouette are characteristic of the Cubist influence that defined much of the finest Art Deco animal sculpture of the period.

A particularly desirable and highly collectable piece, offered in very good and completely original condition, with only minor signs of age and use consistent with its period.

This Art Deco sculpture depicts a cubist panther by A. Notari, dating to circa 1930. The piece takes the form of a black cold-painted spelter feline with a geometric, angular silhouette, an open snarling jaw, and a signature located on the tail. It is mounted upon a multi-coloured brown marble and green onyx stepped base with rectangular side sections and a dark central front panel. The animal exhibits sharp faceted planes across its muscular body, outstretched front legs, and a curled tail. Placement suits a mantelpiece, sideboard, or display shelf within a living room, study, or hallway as a decorative focal point. The sculpture measures 33 cm by 11 cm by 24 cm, offering a compact display footprint for interior styling.

FAQs

Cubist Art Deco animal sculptures incorporate faceted geometric planes and streamlined proportions to convey motion and physical force rather than realistic anatomical detail. Popularised during the 1920s and 1930s, this design movement favoured stylised predatory animals such as panthers, lions, and gazelles.

Sculptures from this period were commonly cast in bronzed or patinated spelter, bronze, or terracotta, and subsequently mounted onto solid stone plinths. Plinths were typically constructed from contrasting layers of Belgian black marble, onyx, or veined Portoro marble.

Authentic pieces from the 1930s feature heavy cast metal figures with crisp geometric facets and age-appropriate patination. They are typically secured to multi-layered stone or onyx bases using period-appropriate square or hex nuts underneath.

Position the sculpture as a focal point on a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or executive desk to accentuate its angular silhouette. Combining dark metal sculptures with neutral tones and minimalist architectural backdrops highlights their geometric structure.

Dust the figure gently using a dry, soft lint-free cloth or camel hair brush without applying liquid polish, which can alter the original patina. The marble base may be wiped lightly with a damp cloth and dried immediately, avoiding acidic cleaning solutions.
