About the Item
Antique museum quality bronze male sower on a marble base with signature, sculptor Max Valentin (1875-1931).
This antique is for the collectors and connoisseurs, because the quality in the details AND the quality of the casting of this practical size sculpture is simply phenomenal. This is one of the finest hand crafted sculptures we have ever seen and the patina is of museum quality. The details in the hair, in this man's facial features, in the amazing arms, this man's hands, in the way his antique clothes perfectly fold in all the right places and finally the perfect posture of this big and strong land worker man, they all reveal the incredible workmanship, talent and dedication of a master sculptor. However, the reason why this work of art really speaks to us, is because there is a peace and calm about this hard working individual that some of our older clients may relate to, more so than younger people. Mind you, this bronze was handcrafted in a time when they had not even yet heard of the term 'rat race'. To us, this male worker breathes a special kind of inner strength and confidence which also makes it a joy to behold. To have found this antique bronze sculpture in museum quality condition (only a small chip at the back of the marble base, see image 20) makes it one of our better finds this year. We are proud to offer it to the 1stdibs community first and our fair price for this impressive work of art again includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
Maximum height x diameter (marble base): 12.4 x 4.3 inches.

Unique Antique Hand Crafted Bronze Golf Player in Backswing Sculpture / Statue
Located in Lisse, NL
Good size antique bronze golfer from the 1920s.
This stylish golfer in his 1920s golf outfit is an absolute joy to own and look at. Apart from the curved body posture the artist has managed to capture most of the details that one would expect when a good golf player strikes a ball with a small wood. Although in this day and age there are players such as Scottie Scheffler who have their own idea of what a perfect golf swing should look like. Unfortunately, we cannot find a signature on the base or anywhere else on this rare antique golf statue...

Rare Antique Austrian Bronze Jardinière with Country Girl Figure, Jugendstil Era
Located in Lisse, NL
Austrian Jugendstil bronze centerpiece with country girl figure, circa 1900.
Step into the poetic world of late 19th-century Austria with this captivating bronze jardinière, an exquisite marriage of function and artistry. Sculpted in the romantic spirit of the Jugendstil movement, this rare piece features a serene country girl, clad in traditional dress, resting effortlessly against a broad, rounded vessel, her poised posture and delicate features immortalized in warm patinated bronze.
The girl holds a pair of modest pails, subtly referencing the pastoral rhythms of daily life, while the vessel itself, with its softly aged surface and understated curves, echoes the organic sensibilities of the Art Nouveau period. Together, they form a visual narrative that celebrates simplicity, femininity, and timeless craftsmanship.
This jardinière is more than decorative, it’s a statement piece. Whether placed on a grand console, as a centerpiece on a dining table, or displayed on a marble plinth, it invites conversation and admiration.
A museum-quality object with both soul and presence, perfect for collectors of fine Viennese bronzes or aficionados of decorative arts from the turn of the century.
