Queen of the Sea by Mellani
A large and very unusual figural group, signed by the artist Mellani. The lady sits on a wave directing her cat fish (or are they dolphins?). She has a silvered patina and black and gold dress detailing. This is another very large piece measuring approx 31 inches across the length of the marble and onyx base. The condition is very good.

Little Lady Ashtray
This is a very cute little lady made of white metal and stands 5 inches high and she is mounted on an onyx ashtray which measures 5 inches deep and 3.5 inches wide. She has a lovely little winged costume on and baggy knickers at the back. Ask me to send a picture by giving me the ref number. An affordable little lady at £165.

Mother and Child Group by Menneville
In wonderful condition, this signed figural group by the artist 'Menneville' was made in France of spelter and Ivoreen and is signed on the right hand end of the base. The costume detailing is of green and gold and she sits 13 inches high and is mounted on a 23 inch base. The base is made of Black Belgian marble and green onyx and is approx 10 inches deep. The only minor fault is a very fine hairline crack to the surface of the onyx.

Cymbol Dancer
A very stylish French, tall spelter cymbal dancer. An unsigned piece with a silvered patina, with the Paris foundry coin stamp on the back. She measures approx 17 inches high, and is mounted on a circular base with a diam. of approx 4 and a half inches. Condition is pretty good but there are some signs that she may have been knocked over at some time as there is a chip on the edge lip of the marble and she has had a small (hardly noticeable) repair to her bottom, hence priced accordingly at £520

L: 23.5 inches, D: 6.5 inches, H: 13.5 inches. Weight: 34 pounds (16 kilos).

Bird Dancer by Bouraine
This lovely statue was made by the Le Verrier foundry, Paris in the 1930s. She has a green patina and is signed around the metal base - Briand. Briand and Dereene were both pseudonyms used by Marcel Bouraine. She measures approx. 11.5 inches (29cm) high including the black marble base and condition is good although the tail on the bird looks a little short, so she may have lost a bit at some time although you cannot see any break.

Danse Paienne by Bouraine
This is the famous Dereene disc dancer, Dereene being a pseudonym used by Bouraine. She was made at the Le Verrier foundry in Paris during the 1930s and measures approx. 10.25 inches (26cm) high including the black marble base. The metal socle bears the signature. Condition is good with some expected age wear to the patina and a few scratch marks to the metal socle.
