"Robin Hood – Art Deco Sculpture By J. d'Arsenes In Polychrome Chryselephantine Spelter "
Superb sculpture representing Robin Hood, work signed J. D'Arsenes, dating from the Art Deco period. This magnificent archer is made of spelter patinated by electroplating, a refined technique offering beautiful metallic nuances and a warm shine. The hands, the head and the bow are made of galalith, a typical material of the 1920s-1930s (imitation chryselephantine), here stabilized with Paraloid B72 to ensure its durability and prevent any future alteration. The whole rests on an elegant base in onyx and Belgian stone, forming a noble and harmonious contrast with the sculpture. Details: Artist: J. D'Arsenes (signature engraved on the base) Period: Art Deco, circa 1930 Materials: Spelter patinated by electroplating, galalith, onyx, Belgian stone Total height: 72 cm Base dimensions: Length 54 cm × Depth 18 cm Condition: Good general condition. Some minor signs of wear visible on the Belgian stone, without gravity. The galalith has been stabilized with Paraloid B72. Original patina well preserved, with a very beautiful golden and nuanced rendering. Comments: This sculpture, emblematic of the Art Deco style, seduces by its dynamic momentum, the finesse of the modeling, and the quality of the patina work. The theme of the archer hero, treated here with elegance and vigor, makes it a rare and decorative collector's item.
