Vintage Large Patinated Brass or Bronze Asian Elephant Signed "La Puce"
About the Item
This large and charming vintage brass, perhaps bronze, patinated elephant stands with it's trunk raised and tusks outstretched. It is signed "La Puce" which translates to the flea in French. Perhaps a pun on the size of the elephant depicted? Or an artist signature? Unsure.
It is embellished with cast decorative elements, indicating it is Indian or perhaps Southeast Asian. With a French inscription perhaps it is Vietnamese. A decorative and exotic accent to your decor. It's left ear has a brass spot showing through the patination.... perhaps the previous owner would walk by and rub the ear for good luck!
This sculpture is heavy, approximately 40 pounds.
A strong, sturdy piece that stands on its own. It's left ear has a brass spot showing through.... perhaps the previous owner would walk by and rub the ear for good luck!

Pair of Patinated Bronze Figures of Native Americans, La Peche/La Chasse, Signed
By Duchoiselle
Located in New York, NY
A magnificent and monumental pair of patinated bronze figures depicting native Americans, La Peche and La Chasse. Known as the "Allegory Of Fishing", sculpted and signed by Duchoiselle, these marvelous patinated bronze figures are seen seated on canoes, hunting. On the Chief's canoe are his hunting spoils, which include birds and wild boar. Bronze with a brown and parcel-gilt patina can be found throughout each subject with elaborate chissel work, making these two as life-like and as natural as possible. The two are further adorned with 24k parcel-gilt decoration on their arm and ankle bangles, feathered crowns, jewelry and fish netting.
Duchoiselle is an exceptional artist known for supplying ceiling reliefs for the Louvre and Garnier's Paris Opera in 1882. These Native American models can also be found in marble at the Frilli Gallery...
