About the Item

Silvered Bronze Art Deco Statue Pair featuring a woman reaching and grasping the antlers of a deer, a rare version of “Chasing the Hind” Designed by Aurore Onu French circa 1930. It has an outstanding classic and cubist design, with a female figure flowing and blowing hair chasing the “hind.” The mythical image rendered in the Art Deco style takes the imagination beyond the matching bookend designs. Each piece represents a serious sculpture on its own, but together, it is a powerful pair. Aurore Onu Born in Bucharest, Romania, and moved to Paris in the 1920s. There, she met the sculptor Marcel André Bouraine and became his companion (at this time, they were neighbors of Pierre Le Faguays).

"Allegory of Speed, " Art Deco Bronze Depicting the Ecstasy of Athletic Effort
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Large, rare and dramatic, this Art Deco bronze by Robert Delandre, circa 1930, depicts three nude male athletes all straining to reach the finish line of the race, their arms straining forward to win, and upward in ecstatic joy. The concentration and focus evident in their faces, and the beauty of their physiques, is beautifully captured by the artist, and the bronze is gorgeously finished in a green-brown patina that brings out the details of each figure. Delandre is largely known for his tabletop bronzes for the home or office, but he also entered competitions for public monuments and memorials. His most famous work is the "Monument to the Latham 47 Heroes" in Caudebec en Caux, France. The sculpture honors the men who disappeared in the prototype of the Latham 47 twin engine airplane in 1928, with Roald...
