'Alerte' by De Roncourt
This handsome male in loincloth is by Joe De Roncourt. A French spelter piece with bronzed patina and mounted on a brown onyx, canted edged base measuring nearly 22 inches long and 7 inches deep with a height of 15.5 inches to the top of his head (20 inches to the spear tip). Signed to the base and in excellent condition.
Dating from 1935 according to the original Founders catalogue.

Male Athlete by Chiparus
This lovely green patinated spelter male statue was designed by Demetre Chiparus although signed Darcles to the base. I have had several Chiparus statues bearing the name Darcles and he often produced pieces with another name Larcourt. (See my info on artists page for more information). This stunning man measures a total height of 26.25 inches (67cm) and he has a dimpled finish, typical of many Chiparus pieces. Condition is extremely good.

Male Archer
French, green patinated metal male archer with ivoreen bow, mounted on a Belgian Black marble base which measures 22 inches long and 4 inches deep and with a total height of 18.5 inches to the top of the bow (56 x 10 x 47cm). Unsigned but possibly by Joe De Roncourt. Condition is very good with just a couple of minor marble nicks to the edges of the base, mainly at the back.

Uriano - The Hunter
A nice original green patinated spelter man on grey marble with Belgian black marble surround, in very good condition with hardly any marble chips and just some slight patina wear to the figure. Measures nearly 30 inches wide and 15 inches high and 8 inches deep. This one unsigned, but by Uriano.

Ref: F2364 . . . £760

Pierrotte by Lorenzl
Austrian spelter mandolin player, an unsigned Lorenzl. He measures approximately 9.5 inches high (24cm). Condition is fair but there are some rough areas around his neck which would imply some restoration. I also have another perfect one of this statue but it is more expensive.

Knight Striker
Austrian spelter knight on horseback as a striker lighter, with separate cigarette holder in the form of a tree trunk. The base is of wood and is stamped underneath Austria. I believe this is another striker designed by Josef Lorenzl and is possibly Joan of Arc. In excellent condition and with its original striker wand.

Large Male Athlete by Varnier
Large Unusual French spelter male athlete, an unsigned piece undoubtedly by Varnier. He measures 25 inches high (64cms) total height including the unusual tricon base of Portorro marble with brown onyx ball centre. Man has a dark green-bronze patina with a guilt loin cloth. Condition is extremely good.
