Wonderful work of art for displaying on a side table, dresser etc. This Art Deco sculpture embodies everything we love about art and antiques. The beautiful and realistic, young female in her 1920s dress and hairdo is a work of art (deco) by herself. Flanked by her equally stylish greyhound dogs this lady sculpture will look marvellous no matter where you decide to put her on display.
