'Lively Harlequin' by Bouraine
A wonderful silvered bronze theatrical dancer by Marcel Bouraine. The famous harlequin - she is dancing with a tricorn hat and a mask in her hand, and a clowns head on her foot. Total height is 15 inches (38cm) and the base is of Rosso Red marble in a pyramid shape. Signed Bouraine to the base, there is also a date enscribed on the back 1933-1943 which might suggest that is was presented to someone as a gift for service rendered. It is also stamped bronze under the foot. Condition is very good and original.

Bronze Cymbal Dancer by Lorenzl
Unusual tall silvered bronze lady dancing with cymbals on a brazilian onyx base. She measures 9 inches (23cm) high including the base and is signed Lorenzl on the bronze socle. Condition is good with a little minor aging to the patina as one would expect.

Large Bronze Man and Panther by Berjean
Absolutely stunning stylised man fighting a panther and mounted on a verdegre (green) marble base. Base measures 28.5 inches long by 7 deep (72 cm x 18cm), but the total length is 36 inches (92 cm). The total height is 15 inches (38 cm) to the top of the mans head. This bronze is of exceptional quality as one would expect from Berjean. Figures have a dark green patina and the man is signed to the back. Email me for more pics, especially of the cubist face of the panther which is really cute. Condition is very good.

Bronze Group by Villeneuve
Large bronze of Panette and goat by Jacques Villeneuve, made in the 1920s and measuring a large 25 inches long by 8 inches deep and 12.5 inches high (64x20x32cm). Signed in the bronze and bears the Barbediene foundry mark. The lady is playing pan pipes while the goat dances, which typifies the genre subjects by this artist, (see my information on artists page). The base is of speckled marble. Condition is very good with a few minor patina wear marks which are commensurate with age.

The Three Graces by Pierre Laurel
A famous large bronze figural group - The Three Graces, a theme from Greek mythology, the three daughters of Zens and Eurynome, named Aglaia (Splendor), Euphrosyne (Mirth) and Thalia (Good Cheer). They preside over banquets and theatrical performances - hence the mask on the central bronze mount. A trio of beautiful bronze dancing girls mounted on a large verdigris marble base measuring 20 inches by 5.75 inches deep. To the sides are cast bronze floral panels with the aforementioned theatrical mask. Signed Pierre Laurel to the marble - a rare and beautiful group of exceptional quality. I also have Farandole by Laurel (another group of 3 dancers) and several other Laurel single bronze dancers.

Bronze Archer
Lovely French bronze archer on black marble base measuring 12 inches (30cm) high to the tip of his bow. Unsigned and artist unknown. Very good condition.
