Antique silver and rock crystal sculpture of the Classic Greek figure of Atlas holding up the world, done with clear Art Deco influence during the early 20th century. <P><P>
Measures a little over 5 1/4 inches high. <P><P>
Superbly detailed figure of Atlas holding up the earth. Stands on a round base with unusual, engraved pattern around the side. Atlas, with huge wavy beard, blind eyes and floral wreath on his head, heroically holding a globe made of pure rock crystal, encircled with a writhing snake, about to pounce. The detail is outstanding - from the finely modelled fingers, to the nails on the toes, the locks of hair and wonderful muscled body.<P><P>
The folds of the toga are somewhat stylised and echo the Art Deco design very clearly. Similarly, the leaf-shaped supports of the globe are engraved with a clearly Deco design. <P><P>
The sculpture is not signed, but it is guarranteed to be silver. Very good condition.
