About the Item

Pair of Art Deco panther bookends in silver-black cast bronze on a black marble base by Maurice Font. The animals are depicted sitting on cubic stone blocks while drinking. The design is very finely crafted, with a colour gradient ranging from anthracite metallic to silver with a beautiful patina. The base is calm and clear with very small lighter inclusions in the stone. The objects are heavy. Dimensions of the animals: 10 x 5 x 8 cm. Dimensions of the base: 12.5 x 8.5 x 2 cm. Maurice Font was a French sculptor who was active at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. His Art D´co sculptures are characterised by a clear form of representation, and his animal figures are particularly well known.

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...
