'L'Echo' by Joe De Roncourt
A handsome French spelter figure - this one signed by J.De Roncourt. He has a green bronzed patina and is mounted on a Belgian Black Marble base approx. 27 inches long and standing about 14 inches tall. He is In good condition with a signature on the base.
There is a connection between Cipriani and J. De Roncourt who both signed this statue and I have had this piece by both artists. Produced in 1935.

The Hunter
A French spelter man and leopard group. This unusual figure of a man wearing enamel black and gold shirt and trousers, with the legs rolled up, a knife in his waistband and holding a shield and chrome spear. The cat appears to be a leopard as it has spots. The whole piece is mounted on an extraordinary 25 inch base of Portorro and brown marble and onyx, ith a ziggarette back wall in brown marble and onyx. It measures 17 inches tall and is apparently unsigned. There is a small chip on one end of the base and a few minor age related chips on some base edges, but basically a fine piece in very good original condition. There is a little fading to the skin patination in places.

'Joyeux Printemps' by Cipriani
Lovely French spelter and ivorene lady and baby deer group, unsigned but by Cipriani and measuring 17 inches high, 25 inches long and 8 inches deep (43x64x20cm). The lady has a lovely green and gold enamelled dress and ivorene hands and head. She is mounted on an ovular base of black marble and green onyx and the deer have a gold patina. Condition is fantastic - they don't come much cleaner than this, and it is the nicest conditioned Cipriani I have ever seen - and totally original.
See below for a picture of the original photograph from the founders catalogue, dated 1935.

Diana & Deer by Uriano
This is the famous Diana the Huntress group, an unsigned piece by Uriano, (it appears that Uriano never signed this particular model), and measuring 30 long x 6 inches deep x 21 inches high (76x15x53cm). The base is of white striated black marble and the whole piece is in very good original condition with just a few nicks to the marble edges and the lady is a bit wobbly on the base.

'The Dual' by Limousin
A large and impressive dimpled (tapped) green patinated spelter male in a loin cloth, fighting with a brown patinated stylised lion. Mounted on a large portorro marble base with ribbed detail to the front, measuring 34 inches by 7.5 inches and with a height of 22 inches (86x19x56cm). The whole piece is in excellent original condition, but there is a small line across the lions tail which could be a join from new or a possible old repair.
