About the Item

We are always on the lookout for sports subject matter in our quest for antique bronzes. Boxing is right up at the top of our list. This high action, well modeled example of 2 boxers engaged in their sport is exactly the kind of work we are looking to buy. Good bronzes with sports themes are very hard to find that go back as far as this example. Austrian artists created great bronzes that we have carried over the years and we were thrilled to find such a fine example. Artist signed "Thuss" and also bears the "Argentor" foundry signature. Richard Thuss 1865-1953 is an artist that created many fine works that we have offered. Mounted on the original marble base add to the beauty of this exciting bronze. If you like boxing and want a genuine antique, here is your chance.

Art Deco Bronze & Alabaster Nude Maiden, Signed, Sienna Marble Base, ca. 1920's
By Schumacher
Located in Petaluma, CA
This sexy young nude maiden displays two mediums used to create a sculpture, cast bronze and hand carved alabaster. The white alabaster brings the statue to life, and is a nice addition to any statue of a female. The beautiful nude has flowing hair and the body reveals just enough to create a sexy pose.
