Bronze Panthers - Art Deco Pair

These bronze panthers walk in single file along one long plinth. The leader carries its head low with a foreleg reaching forward; the second follows a pace behind, head raised and turned to the side.

Their long tails cross between the two bodies and end in a downward hook. The modelling is left open: short gouged strokes stand for the fur, the flanks are cut in broad planes, and the lean, long-legged bodies carry heavy shoulders. A dark brown patina, almost black, turns reddish where the planes rise, and along the worn edges of the plinth the bronze shows through golden.

The group follows Rembrandt Bugatti (1884–1916) in its manner rather than in any one model: he studied animals from life, and from 1907 drew those of the Antwerp zoo. The pair is cast in bronze using cire perdue, the lost-wax technique, and patinated by hand afterwards; other patinas can be made on request.

At 91 cm long and only 11 cm deep, the group suits the top of a long chest in an entrance hall, the two animals walking towards the door. Walking round it shows how the crossed tails and the turned head of the second panther bind the pair into one composition.
