Large Art Deco Seagull in Flight, Signed M. Leducq, Listed French Artist, 1920s

Here on offer is a rare large Art Deco Seagull in Flight, signed by M. Leducq, an important listed French artist, dating to the 1920s.

A large Art Deco period cast metal sculpture of a Seagull in Flight, by the listed French sculptor M Leducq and signed in the cast. Leducq (France, 1879 - 1955) was a listed French sculptor and animalier artist. The sculpture is set on an oval black variegated marble base and depicts a seagull in flight - the gull appearing to fly just above the surface with one wing brushing the crest of a wave.

The sculpture has been cast in 2 parts, with the middle of one wing attaching to the crest of the wave via an'invisible' lug. The waves have been finished in a green patinated bronze colour, whilst the seagull has a cold painted natural finish with delicate gilding to the feather tips. The base of the waves has been signed in the cast M LEDUCQ. There is some rubbing and loss to the original paintwork on the wave commensurate with age, there is also a fracture on the wave, but appears to be a fault in manufacture, it is stable and secure. There is a blemish on the marble, this is a result of being in storage for a number of years, I have not attempted polishing it out.

The price reflects the condition. Width : Approx 34" / 87cm (wing tip to wing tip) Height : Approx 13 1/2" / 34cm maximum inc. Base Base : Approx 23 1/2" x 7" / 59.5cm x 17.8cm Weight : 14.3 Kg. A striking art deco statue that is rare and highly collectable. Please see my pictures for the details of the condition which complement this description.
