Bidspirit auction | A PAIR OF LIMITED EDITION
A PAIR OF LIMITED EDITION BRONZE SWANS WITH SILVERED AND GILT DETAILS, 20TH CENTURY - Each naturalistically modeled swan is shown gracefully turning its neck, the finely cast feathers with silvered surface, the beaks parcel-gilt. Both figures rest on a textured bronze base with dark patina, simulating water and reeds. Each base is inscribed with an edition number, here 314/500, and bearing a sculptor’s monogram or foundry mark. This pair of decorative swan sculptures was issued as part of a limited edition of 500, appealing both as naturalistic animalier works and as collectable modern bronzes. The contrast of silvered plumage and gilt beaks enhances their elegance and decorative presence. Please make all inquiries before bidding. All lots are sold ”as-is”, refer to our T&C.
