Signed Poertzel Art Deco Bronze Aristocrats Borzoi Dogs Figurine

To view this Poertzel bronze on Canonbury Antiques please click here

Signed Poertzel Art Deco Bronze Aristocrats Borzoi Dogs Figurine

Signed Poertzel Art Deco Bronze Aristocrats Borzoi Dogs Figurine

You are viewing a spectacular art deco bronze sculpture of a lady and two borzoi dogs. The piece is signed Poertzel on the base. Poertzel was born at Scheibe on 24th October 1876, he became one of the most prominent art deco sculptors and this, the ‘Aristocrats’ is one of his most famous works. This would be a later casting from the original with some age.

The scene somehow embodies the 1920s style aesthetic as the tall, elegant women with a Native American look takes the two borzoi hounds for a walk. The symmetry is wonderful as the sleek dogs somehow echo the lithe women, her dress fanning. The piece has been cast from different coloured bronze to dazzling affect and the patina is wonderful.

Pair Italian Bronze Dwarf Blackamoor Torcheres Blackamoors Lights

These really are a unique and wonderful pair of Italian dwarf blackamoor torcheres. They are a perfect left and right and each holds the large vine which leads to the white frosted glass light shades. They are ornately cast from bronze; black for the arms, face and feet and ornate gold for the rest. These are an important pair and are of a museum quality. They are electrified for the UK – easy to adapt for other countries.

The casting is incredibly intricate. Look at details like the intricate headress and the fabulous designs to their dresses. They each stand on a circular base with an laurel reef. I hope the photos do this pair some justice as they are definitely better in the flesh.
