European Art Deco Bronze Leaping Gazelles on Marble Base
European Art Deco Bronze Leaping Gazelles on Marble Base
This elegant European Art Deco bronze sculpture depicts a male and female gazelle captured together in full flight. Their elongated bodies, slender legs, and sweeping lines create a distinctive silhouette that expresses the natural speed, grace, and movement of these beautiful animals.
The gazelles retain a warm natural bronze patina, contrasted by the verdigris finish applied to the stylized plants and rocky landscape beneath them. This combination of colors gives the composition depth while emphasizing the streamlined forms of the two animals.
The sculpture is mounted on a long black marble base with dramatic white veining. Leaping gazelles were a favorite subject during the Art Deco period, and this unusual composition would make a striking addition to a console, mantel, desk, or sculpture collection.
