After Agathon Léonard, French (1841-1923), Danseuse à l'Écharpe (Play of the Scarf), 20th century, bronze, wired as a lamp, inscribed A.Leonard, 59cm high.Sometimes called Léonard Agathon van Weydevelt he was a French Art Nouveau sculptor. He regularly exhibited across France, and was made a chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur in 1900. Some of his best-known works are studies of dancers, such as La Cothurne (Tragic Pose from Le Jeu de l'escharpe), modeled in 1895 and cast in 1900. The Play of the Scarf, executed in a characteristic fin-de-siècle manner and rendered originally in gilt, showed a dancer in a flowing gown with a billowing scarf held above her head. This piece was produced in 1897, was inspired by the renowned dancer, Lois Fuller and was displayed as a table centerpiece at the 1900 World's Fair at the Pavillon de Sèvres in Paris. This example is not gilded and may have been cast at a slightly later date. Condition reportThe bronze is re-assuringly heavy! The electrics are working in the saleroom but are not certified. Note the modern screw which has been used to fit I assume a replacement light fitting. The first casts of this famous bronze were gilded and these come to sale from time to time. I was unable to find a comparable bronze with brown patina. While the piece is inscribed, there is no obvious foundry mark. I was hoping Suisse freres were the foundry but cannot confirm that. The work is in generally good condition. It appears to have some age, based on wear to base and overall patination. I am not dating the piece but it appears to pre date 1970. From estate of a Scottish family.Overall and elegant and attractive work of art.

After Louis Ernest Barrias (1841-1905, French, 'Nature Unveiling Herself Before Science' (La Nature Se Dévoilant À La Science), gilded bronze and marble, with gold and silver patination on a marble and slate stepped base, base inscribed: E.Barrias, with foundry stamps ascribed to S. Susse Frères Fondeur, 63cm high. This is an important work by the Art Nouveau and Beaux-Arts School sculptor Barrias and is an allegorical piece created in 1899 and personifying Nature. The original full scale sculpture in marble, onyx and malachite is in the Musee d'Orsay. This was then produced by the famous French Susse Frères foundry in gilded bronze. This edition is later and undated. Condition reportGenerally the sculpture is in good condition. The raised right hand has been previously broken and repaired. All the fingers appear original but the hand is re-attached at the wrist. The left hand has also been broken at the wrist and repaired. It appears complete. This is only really noticeable at close inspection. The slate base has some minor chips to the corners where it has been moved or dragged in the past. The surface patination is in good condition. The whole piece would benefit from a gentle clean. Further images attached.
