(A) Diana shoots an apparently
expended arrow at her gazelle target... This unusual and animated
white metal figural group has an excellent patina, and is mounted
on carved stone, into which is carved (on the back side) the
name of the artist, Demarco. The bow is iron, beautifully hand-wrought.
The height of this piece is 10 inches, the width 16 1/2. Scroll
for a close-up of Diana. In excellent condition, but with a crack
in the metal near her ankle which suggests the possibility of
a repair there.
Diana said she'd like to see
the farm in Idaho, and John agreed! SOLD!!

Her hair is so consistent with
the styling of the era.

(B) A "monumental" figural
group in white metal by Uriano, probably from the 20's, French.
The marble is 35 1/2 inches wide, nearly eight inches deep, over
2 1/4 thick! The height of the lady is 16 1/4 (including the
marble). (e-mail

(C) This sculpture by Fayral (and
so signed, one of several pseudonyms, including Guerbe, for Pierre
le Faguays, best friend of Max Le Verrier, at whose foundry most
of these sculptures were cast) expresses the sensuality of the
roaring twenties (and not a bad idea; personally I would champion
its return). It's in near-mint condition, about 27 inches wide.
You waited, and waited... now it's
gone!! Au revoir, Monsieur Gazelle-pantalons! VENDU!!!

(D) More "sculpture"
than figurine, this large bronze by the famous French sculptor
Marcel Bouraine, entitled "Awakening," will probably
do just that for you... (See
other photos)

(G) And this spelter beauty is
by Garcia. Garcia? Who knows, maybe he sculpted when on vacation
in France! She stands 9 tall and is in near-mint condition. (e-mail

(H) By none other than Monsieur
Max Le Verrier, roaring lion of French Art Deco sculpture! Our
beauty is 9 1/2 inches tall and in mint condition, on a portoro
marble base. (e-mail

(I) Diana the huntress, letting
go her arrow at 1:32, Pacific time. Yes, the clock's been expertly
renovated from stem to stern, chiming on the half hour and the
hour. With the two garnitures as arranged above this impressive
trio measures 37 inches across, and we have 21 1/2 inches of
height to the top of Diana's mighty bow. The metalwork is all
spelter, and the bases a combination of onyx and marble. (e-mail

(J) 17 3/4 long, 14 high, and about
6 1/2 inches deep, this silvered bronze statue signed J.C. Colinet,
the esteemed French female sculptor from the 1920's "has
it all," as this inspiring note I've taken from a web source
confirms:
"Clare-Jeanne-Roberte Colinet
was notable at the time and is chiefly remembered for her series
'Dancers of the World'. Like the other sculptors of the time
she worked in ivory, bronze and chryselephantine."
