Art Deco Deer Sculpture, Regule with Bronze Patina, Signed CHAM RULAS, Marble, 73 cm, 1930

  
RARE Art Deco Sculpture - Bronze Patina Regule Buck - Signed CHAM (pseudonym RULAS) - H. 73 cm - Marble Base - circa 1930.

The work rests on a textured oval terrace with a green patina, imitating a rocky, mossy ground, itself placed on a sober and elegant black marble base that perfectly enhances the whole composition. Material: Regule (art cast metal) with a bronzed polychrome patina, warm reddish-brown tones highlighted with verdigris, with remarkable fur detailing rendered in fine engraved lines of great craftsmanship.

Marble base width: 21 cm. Marble base length: 67 cm. Very good overall condition for a piece of this age. Original patina well preserved, with light signs of wear and natural oxidation consistent with the age of the piece.

Note: one of the original plugs/lead seals is missing under the base - this has no impact on the stability or appearance of the piece. Visible in the photos, sold as is. Original period piece, not a reproduction.

CHAM is the pseudonym of RULAS, a sculptor who worked in France between 1920 and 1930. His animal sculptures are now actively sought after by Art Deco collectors.
