Item specifics
Original or Reproduction: OriginalStyle: Art Deco
This 12 1/2" (32cm) sculpture stand on a 5 " (13cm) marble or onyx stand. I am not sure what the bulk of the sculpture is made from. It is not bronze, maybe silver clad porcelain or other compound? The head, body,hands and feet are made from elephant tusk ivory. Since this is a very old antique and only a small part of the sculpture is made of this material, eBay should permit listing. Beautifully carved. Similar sculptures by Demetre Chiparus, Franz Ferdinand Priess, Josef Lorenzl and other Art Deco sculptors/carvers sell for huge amounts of money. A FRIENDLY EBAYER WROTE ME THAT THIS SCULPTURE, CALLED "FOOTSTEPS", IS BY THE AMERICAN ARTIST GERDA IRO GERDAGO, WHOSE SIMILAR SCULPTURES ARE SELLING AT AUCTIONS FOR OVER $10,000.00 (see on askArt.com). I am starting with a low price to allow for bidding. I did not find a signature but the Pasadena, CA family I purchased it from had it in their house since WWII. I know that you can find "Art Deco" style sculptures on eBay for much less, but those were made in China last week. This beauty will look just as well in a room furnished with Art Deco or contemporary furniture as in a room full of great antiques. Will consider SERIOUS offers. Payment is due within 10 days after the end of auction. Insurance required. Packaging in a double box is possible and recommended, if interested, please send your zip code and I will mail you a more precise s&h estimate as ebay computer does not allow for such packaging. Check out my other auctions for more antiques, art, and interesting items. Add me to your Favorite Sellers. Thank you!
