Panther sculpture by Isadore Bonheur, made by Pompeian
Bronze. Bonheur was one of the great sculptures of 19th C
France
(although not as great as his sister Rosa). He is especially
honored for his wild animals including large cats and bulls. This
very life-like jungle cat is stalking prey on a slight incline. Very
dramatic.

I Bonheur and Pompeian Bronze Co
signatures are on either side of the rear ground.
<p>This statue bears a strong resemblance to the Nittany Lion
of Penn State University. Bonheur’s work predates the PSU
mascot and may well be one of Heinz Warneke’s models. Any
Penn State alum should be proud to display this art work in their
home or office.
<p>Measures 18 inches x 4-3/4 x 7. <p> Pompeian Bronze
figures and book ends are bronze clad.
<p>Good-VG condition. There are two flakes in the surface of
the bronze
behind the panther’s forepaw. No other damage to be seen. Nice
original patina.
<p>Made early part of 20th C.
<p>Please see our inventory for more sculpture as well as fine
antiques of all kinds.
