About the Item

A charming late 19-century bronze sculpture of a reclining bear, playfully posed on its back with one paw raised. This delightful small-scale animalier piece captures both the character and texture of the bear with fine detail and a warm, naturally aged patina. The sculpture rests on a polished black marble base with striking white and ochre veining (nero portoro marble), adding a refined contrast to the rich tones of the bronze. Likely French in origin, and stylistically reminiscent of late 19th-century cabinet bronzes, this piece would make a lovely accent on a desk, bookshelf or in a cabinet of curiosities. Dimensions: Height: 2.75 in. (7 cm) Width: 3.54 in. (9 cm) Depth: 2.56 in. (6.5 cm) Condition: Good vintage condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age. Natural patina present. No cracks to the marble base. Free shipping worldwide
