Art Deco Revival Bronze-Patinated Eagle Sculpture on Marble Base, mid-20th century
€ 175,00
A bold, stylized eagle sculpture with angular geometric lines and a dark bronze patina, mounted on a polished black marble base. Although inspired by the strong modernist aesthetic of the 1920s–1930s Art Deco period, this piece was produced later, likely mid-20th century, echoing the same symbolism of strength and elegance.

This impressive eagle sculpture captures the essence of Art Deco revival design, with clean, faceted forms that reduce the natural figure of the eagle into a strikingly abstract, geometric composition. The darkened bronze-patinated finish enhances its architectural quality, while the solid marble base grounds the piece with a refined, luxurious presence.
The underside bears a German retailer’s label (Schmuck Uhren Optik Bäcker, Freistheim), indicating it was distributed in Germany, most likely during the 1950s–1970s, when Art Deco revival styles regained popularity in decorative arts and office décor.
While clearly influenced by the interwar period’s sculptural vocabulary—evoking designers like Pierre Le Faguays or Jules Leleu—the execution suggests a later production intended as an elegant decorative accent rather than an original 1930s work.
