Jewelled Bronze Nouveau Bust
A pretty bronze bust - signed F. Gual - although indistinct. The lady has a headband with blue, red and green coloured stones inset into the bronze, and they are repeated around the yolk of her dress. She is mounted on a dark brown shaped bronze base, and to the front of the base there is a bunch of Iris's and Bull rushes. I would date this bust at about the turn of the century to 1910 and she measures approx 6.5 inches high and the base is about 5.5 inches by 3.5 inches. Condition is excellent apart from the tip of her nose which is a little flat - possibly having suffered a knock to the end. Please email me for close-ups.

Nymph & Deer by Morlon
This enormous bronze figure measures 32 inches long and 8 inches deep by 16 inches high and is the famous Nymph and Deer by A. Morlon, and is signed in the bronze and stamped with the medal of honour. I also have the smaller version of this statue. It has an unusual washed silvered patina with a glimpse here and there of the bronze showing through. Condition is very good with no apparent repairs or damage but just the usual ageing to the patina and some veneer damage to the wood base at either end. Please email me for more pics.
Alexandre Morlon was born in 1878 in Macon, France and studied under Falguiere and Mercie and exhibited at the Salon in 1900. He specialised in allegorical figures and is famous for the standing figure of Victory used for the allied Victory Medal (1918), and modelled pieces used as coinage and war memorials. Examples of his work can be found in the Mint Museum, Paris and the Ghent Museum. You can view a picture of this piece in picture 4578 'Nymph & Deer - 1926' in the Schiffer book of Bronze Vol 4 page 1146.

Large Bronze Hoop Lady by Defiesol
Very pretty, large bronze hoop-lady with a golden-bronze patina - an unsigned piece attributed to Defiasol. It is a large 21 inches high to the top of her hoop and she is mounted on a pyramid shaped green marble base. The condition is very good and very original. Her hoop is a little loose but it is fixed permanently in her top hand so it will not fall off and it is the original for the figure. Email me for more pics if required. Total Height is 21 inches. The base measures 5.5 inches high and 5 inches square to the bottom.

'Egyptian' Bronze by Lorenzl
A beautiful Egyptian bronze lady kneeling with a marble dish - presumably making offerings to the gods. She has a dark bronze patina and is mounted on an ovular marble base, and is signed in the bronze. She measures approx. 9 inches (23cm) high and the marble dish is removable and may possibly be a replacement. Excellent condition.

Bronze Panther by Chiparus
Wonderful French bronze panther - this is the panther from the large group called 'The Hunt', which is viewable in the Chiparus book, page 59. He is mounted on a black and white striated marble base and signed to the marble. Condition is very good but the base has been broken across one end and appears to have been professionally repaired. Base measures nearly 20 inches long and 6.5 inches wide and total height is 8 inches (50x16x20cm).

Bronze Dancer
French, green patinated bronze dancer, unsigned but I believe by Melani. Measures 12.5 inches high including the stepped black and sienna marble base.
