About the Item

On first viewing of this fabulous original Art Deco figure you can't not be taken aback by the sheer size, very unusual and impressive, standing 55 cm high and 40 cm in length he's the perfect size to make an impression. Although the subject matter is related to tennis, you don't have to be a sports fan to appreciate this figure, the detailing, the coloring and pure craftsmanship is there to be admired. Dressed in the fashion of the day with pleated trousers, open shirt with large lapels, down to the crimped hair offers an authentic look into this era. He's unsigned but originates from France. From any angle he gracefully poses a movement. His condition is excellent with minimal signs of age. He stands on a Belgian Marble plinth and is made from spelter and cold painted.
