Antique French Art Deco German Shepherd Sculpture on Footed Marble Base
This Antique French Art Deco German Shepherd Sculpture captures the noble and attentive demeanor of the beloved breed. Made of spelter with a patinated copper finish, the hand-painted detailing highlights the texture of the fur and expressive facial features. The dog is depicted in a seated pose, mouth slightly open, as if alert to its surroundings.
Resting on an elegant specimen marble base, this piece is elevated on brass feet, adding a touch of sophistication. Though unsigned and unmarked, the craftsmanship aligns with the work of French animalier sculptors from the early 20th century, such as Louis-Albert Carvin or Louis Riché, who specialized in lifelike depictions of German Shepherds.
This sculpture embodies the Art Deco style, blending realism with stylized elegance, making it an excellent addition to any antique, Art Deco, or dog-lover's collection.
