This HUGE French art deco Diana is a very rare bonze statue and possibly unique.

I have never seen another of this size. In fact I had believed there were only 3 sizes made. It seems I was wrong and there were 4 sizes and this is the biggest.

Diana the huntress is the mythological huntress, cast c1925 by Susse Freres, wearing a tunic with Greek key detailing, holding a bow and standing on one foot as if having just shot an arrow into the sky, the bow unscrewing in two places, the shaped ‘rocky’ base is signed ‘Le Faguays Sclp’ and ‘Susse Frs Ed Paris’, and bears a Susse Freres foundry mark.

Pierre Le Faguays (French 1892-1962) was best friend of Max Le Verrier.

45 inches (114.5cm) high to the top of her bow, 26.5 inches (67.5cm) wide, and the base is 14 inches (34cm) wide, 10 inches (25cm) deep. 

This monumental statue is very heavy!

Condition is extremely good with a dark green patination.

No apparent damage or repairs. With a few minor age related surface scuffs and scratches as one would expect.
