About the Item

A large French Art Deco bronze sculpture of a gazelle in bronze with parcel gilt and silver on fluted self base. This rare and artistic damascened, non inlaid finish epitomizes the grace and elegance of the animal featuring slender legs, a level back and long neck. A darker toned side stripe accents this statue as well as geometric facial markings, and a light gilt colored reflective coat. It was Kéléty's artistic discretion here to showcase his subject as a highly stylized deer, stag, antelope, gazelle or whatever his imagination could create for him. Beautifully cast like a piece of jewelry and initialed under the legs; stamped Made in France and numbered #3. -------------------------- Alexandre Kéléty (1874-1940) was a Hungarian artist, painter, engraver and sculptor born in Budapest. He studied under Imre Karoly Simay, a famous animal sculptor and painter in Hungary. Kéléty is best known as an animal sculptor. Even though Budapest became a center of arts and culture, Kéléty decided to emigrate to France at the end of the 1st World War and studied in Toulouse. His sculptures were shown on the stands of Goldscheider and Etling at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts of 1925. He also exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs of 1927. Among his numerous animal bronzes, Kéléty produced dramatic, sentimental and decorative representations and sometimes mixed bronze and ivory, and sculpted marble and other stones.
