Santiago Rodriguez Bonome Ceramic Skye Terrier Sculpture
Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR
French Art Deco ceramic skye terrier sculpture by Santiago Rodriguez Bonome, France, 1920s. Height: 9.65"(24.5cm) , Width: 14.2"(36cm), Depth: 5.1"(13cm). Inciseded signature "SR BONOME PARIS" under the belly (see photo). Many works are exhibited in different museums: Paris, National Museum of Modern Art - National Center of Art and Culture Georges-Pompidou La Rochelle Spain, Valle-Inclan Foundation Spain, Museum of Lugo Spain, Caixanova Collection... Spain, Prado Museum in Madrid Born in Santiago de Compostela (Spain) in 1901, son of Evaristo Rodriguez Bréa and Antonia Bonome Pérez, he worked very young in his father's humble cabinetmaking workshop. Little attracted by this job, when his father asks him what he wants to do: "sculptor" he answers. He therefore entered, at the age of 13, in the religious imagery workshop of José Rivas, at the foot of this cathedral which he admired so much, then at the age of 18 in that of Enrique Carballido. "Because he is so, so young, Bonome! Ridiculously young said a critic, who probably did not know that these years of apprenticeship, of real apprenticeship as an apprentice in a real workshop (a saint a day and strongly, for all the processions, all the chapels and all the devotees of the province) are each worth four years -at least- of study in an academy..." Margarita Nelken (Madrid 1932) In 1924, he left for Madrid where he exhibited at the Galician Center, at the National Exhibition and then in La Coruña. In 1925, at the Galicia Center in Buenos Aires he sold almost 30 of his works. From 1926 to 1927 he exhibited in Barcelona, at the Venice Biennale then in Monza (Italy) where he met Pirandello, then in Havana. In 1929 he arrived in Paris where Lucas Moreno...

French Art Deco Bronze Panther on Marble Base with Jade Trim, signed LEDUC 1910s
Located in Salzburg, AT
French Art Deco bronze panther on marble base with jade trim, signed by hand, LEDUC This object is a very rare depiction of a panther playing with a ball.

The jade setting has different tones ranging from light to slightly richer. There are also white inclusions in the stone, but no chipped corners or edges. Arthur Jacques LEDUC...
