Description
Large, vintage, art deco, deer sculpture made in France, circa
40's - 50's. Piece is made of bronze, patinated cast metal, known as "Spelter."
ART DECO SPELTER
In the past, spelter has often been overlooked by art dealers in preference to bronze. However, pieces of spelter, dating from the early twentieth century to the present day, are now much sought after. The beauty of its finished patina – when spelter is cast it is produced without flaws – creates sculptural works that are perfect in form. The quality of spelter is in its casting. After casting the body of the work it can be painted or gilded. This exact science of production has pushed spelter to be as collectable as bronze because of the higher quality of finish.
The base of the piece itself, is made of a polished stone, (possibly travertine.) The two deer, stand on a secondary, white, polished marble surface that has beautiful, pink and charcoal grey veining, that extends just below the right, left and back edges of the piece. The front or "face" of the piece, showcases a sleek, streamlined design made of rectangular pieces, of what appears to be polished black onyx and alabaster.
Base has a small chip at the lower left corner, and tiny chip at the right hand corner (see photos next to 1 centime coin for perspective), but nothing that takes away from its beauty.
Piece is overall, very good, original, vintage condition with light marks, signs of usage and age, as well as patina of time on the two deer, marble surfaces, face and base, all commensurate with time (see photos.)
This piece has only been gently cleaned, in order to preserve and respect the original, natural, beautiful patina of time.
Piece is solid, stable and heavy.
Design Period 1920 to 1949
Style Vintage, Art Deco, Mid-Century
Materials Bronze, Cast Iron, Alabaster, Marble, Onyx

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier.
