Magnificent sculpture featuring a walking pheasant, made of bronze with iridescent polychrome patina, exhibiting subtly shaded golden, brown, and green reflections. The metalwork highlights the delicacy of the plumage, finely engraved and enhanced with stylized golden lines typical of the Art Deco period. The slender, dynamic bird rests on an elegant rectangular terrace of veined onyx in cream, honey, and amber tones, characteristic of decorative mounts from the 1930s. Materials: polychrome patinated bronze and onyx Era: around 1925–1935 Style: French Art Deco Maximum dimensions with terrace: 39.4 x 11.8 x Height 19 cm Weight: 4729 grams This type of model is in the spirit of the works of Irénée Rochard, Ménneville, Le Faguays, or Bouraine, often issued by Max Le Verrier. The iridescent finish and the proud pose of the pheasant particularly echo the bronzes of Descomps. I would only note a few small nibbles along the edge of the terrace.
