ABOUT PRODUCTID 2000
This German greyhound figure, created in the 1920s, embodies the Art Deco style in decorative sculpture. Cast from a white metal alloy and finished with a satin gold gilding, it subtly reflects light and accentuates anatomical details—the pronounced ribs, taut muscles, and distinctive muzzle. The dog's elongated, slender form is mounted on a rectangular wooden base veneered with walnut, featuring a medium brown tone and a smooth, semi-matte finish. The composition is marked by clean, geometric lines and stylized realism typical of the period. Finishing details emphasize precise craftsmanship—from the graceful curves of the body to the gentle sheen of the gold. The condition is described as excellent: there are no signs of damage, wear, or restoration, with only minimal patina consistent with age. This sculpture carries the voice of German Art Deco: a sense of harmony and elegance distilled into the dynamic form of the greyhound. The gilded surface gently catches the light, imparting a sense of movement even in the stillness—as though the figure captured a moment of poised anticipation. The elongated silhouette tells a story of an era that valued both stylization and fidelity to nature, where detail expressed timeless refinement. The figure could be placed on a classic sideboard, a bookshelf, or a console in the living room, serving as a collector’s accent. It pairs well with geometric lamps, smoky glass, or dark wood, underscoring a modernist ambience. In a mid-century modern or eclectic interior, the greyhound figure may create a subtle dialogue with other objects from the 1920s and 1930s, or offer contrast to minimalist accessories. It could be combined with textiles in deep, saturated hues or with Art Deco graphics to highlight its historical lineage.
