This impressive French Art Deco sculpture, created circa 1930, depicts a stylized huntress accompanied by a leaping antelope. With its dramatic movement, elongated forms, and striking geometric composition, the work exemplifies the fascination with exotic subjects that influenced French decorative arts during the interwar period. Scenes inspired by Africa and France’s former colonial territories became especially prominent in the late 1920s and early 1930s. This artistic trend reached its height during the 1931 Paris International Colonial Exhibition, which had a significant impact on French architecture, sculpture, furniture, and interior decoration. Viewed today within its historical context, this sculpture reflects both the visual language of the Art Deco period and the colonial imagery widely circulated in France at the time. The finely modeled female figure is rendered in spelter and presented in an energetic hunting pose, holding a bow beside the antelope. The dark patinated metal contrasts beautifully with the substantial stepped base, composed of richly veined marble and warm-toned onyx. The combination of sculptural metalwork and luxurious stone gives the piece a commanding architectural presence. The sculpture measures approximately 82 cm wide, 54 cm high, and 21 cm deep, equivalent to 32.3 inches wide, 21.2 inches high, and 8.2 inches deep. It weighs approximately 21.6 kilograms, or 47.6 pounds. The piece remains highly decorative and displays age-related wear consistent with its history. Small chips and losses are visible along the edges of the marble and onyx base. A bold and substantial French Art Deco huntress sculpture...

A small French Art Nouveau patinated bronze bust titled "Carmen", after a model by Emmanuel Villanis (1858–1914), circa 1900. The bust is signed "E. Villanis" in the bronze along the draped shoulder and carries the circular "Vrai Bronze Garanti Paris" foundry mark on the reverse of the socle. The sculpture The subject is a young woman with a composed, slightly downcast expression and a richly modelled upswept hairstyle, crowned by a tall decorative comb that gives the silhouette a theatrical, Spanish-inspired character fitting the name Carmen. Her shoulders are wrapped in a loose shawl with softly folded edges and tied drapery at the front. The integral tapered pedestal carries the title "Carmen" in relief. The dark brown patina shows warm bronze highlights on the face, shoulders, hair and raised details, and the contrast between the smooth skin and the textured hair, shawl and socle gives this small bronze real depth. About the artist Emmanuel Villanis was a French sculptor of Italian origin who worked in Paris and became known for his Belle Époque busts of women, often named after heroines from opera, literature and mythology. His models were cast in bronze and spelter in various sizes and remain popular with collectors of French decorative arts. Condition Good antique condition, with age-related wear, rubbing and small areas of patina loss to raised edges and drapery. No obvious restorations visible. Please see the photos for details. Dimensions: height 16 cm, width 9 cm, depth 6 cm. Display At 16 cm high, this is a charming cabinet-scale sculpture.
