Hoop Lady by Briand
1930's Le Verrier foundry statue in art metal (spelter), signed Briand to the base. Briand was a pseudonym used by Marcel Bouraine. I have several of this statue in this - the smaller size 12 inches (30cm) high. The larger ones I have are in bronze and one is signed Briand and the other signed Bouraine. This lady has the silvered finish and condition is very good.

Diane by Lorenzl
A rare spelter Diane and dog figure, an unsigned Lorenzl, she measures 11 inches high by 6.5 wide (28 x 16 cm). Height to the tip of her bow is 17 inches (43cm). She has a silvered patina with gold skirt and the base is made of alabaster. Condition is good but there is some ageing wear to the patina.

'The Dance'
A nice bronze patinated spelter dancer measuring 14.5 inches high including the onyx base which measures approximately 4 inches square. She is wearing a dark green dress with green highlights to her hair. Condition is excellent and very original with just a little chipping along the edge of the base and a small corner chip to the onyx.

The Toga Dancer by Carlier
A French spelter lady toga dancer, similar to the Godard bubble-dancer and probably modelled on the same theatrical performance. This one appears to be unsigned but undoubtedly by Carlier. She is the larger version of 2 sizes that were made and she measures nearly 18 inches high and is standing on a stepped triangular cream onyx and portorro marble pedestal base. Condition is good but probably re-patinated at some time.

The Ball Balancer by Molins-Balleste

This tall 24 inch (61cm) French spelter statue was designed by the Spanish artist Molins-Balleste, but this one appears to be unsigned. She has a silvered patina with blue and gold enamel colouring to her shorts. The base is of portorro marble. Condition is very good.
