About the Item
A stunning antique early 20th-century Austrian Art Nouveau bronze portrait figurine / sculpture depicting the renowned golfer Harry Vardon, titled "Joueur au Golf". This piece is dated circa 1925 and was created by sculptor and designer Richard Thuss (1865–1953). It was crafted by the esteemed company Argentor of Vienna, Austria.
This captivating and elegant Jugendstil sculpture is crafted from black-finished bronze and mounted on its original marble base, enhancing its overall allure. A finely modeled and meticulously detailed example of Viennese bronze craftsmanship. The sculpture stands 12.5 inches tall and remains in very good, original condition. It is marked on the base with "Argentor Vienna," a hallmark of its provenance and quality.
Henry William Vardon (9 May 1870 – 20 March 1937) was a celebrated professional golfer from Jersey. He was a member of the esteemed Great Triumvirate alongside John Henry Taylor and James Braid. Vardon won The Open Championship (also known as The British Open) a record six times and claimed victory at the 1900 U.S. Open.

Friedrich Otto Schmidt Art Deco Stool, Pouf, Original Condition, Vienna, 1920s
By Friedrich Otto Schmidt
Located in Vienna, AT
A beautiful Art Deco tabouret or stool / footstool, dating from around 1925. Manufactured by Friedrich Otto Schmidt, Vienna / Austria. The stool features an elegant round shape and impresses above all with its well-preserved condition. It is still upholstered with the original fabric, which remains in outstandingly good condition — clean and with hardly any signs of wear. We assume that this stool may have never been used, which makes it a particularly rare piece of furniture in museum-quality condition.
The stool is marked on the underside: Friedrich Otto Schmidt, Wien, IX, Währinger Straße 28 Numbered: 11859
