About the Item

An Art Deco bronze with a rich chocolate brown patina of a figure of a goalkeeper. The figure is stretching up to parry away the football, on an integral hexagonal base. C. 1925, signed on base. Leon Salat was a French artist who was active during the early 20th century, specifically noted in auction records as flourishing (Fl.) between approximately 1918 and 1928. Records do not provide precise birth and death dates or specific cities where he lived, but his work is consistently described as French and from the early 20th century, which aligns with the Art Deco period. He is primarily known for his bronze sculptures, including figures of dancers and mythological subjects like "Ajax" and "Icarus.
