Bronze art deco Icarus. Original 1930's sculpture.
Original iconic icarus sculpture.
Silver plated bronze on onyx base.
Circa 1930.
34cm high.
19.5cm width.
Note. This iconic sculpture is heavily copied, and the net is flooded with poor-quality reproductions. The sculpture here is authentic from the 1930s. The top of the wings is welded onto the bronze and not cast solid with the arm. This is one of the criteria for authentication. The base is stepped and made of onyx. The sculpture is of fine quality and is silver-plated. Nothing like the copies.
