Exquisite antique polychrome bronze inscribed L. Chalon also marked with the Goldscheider Foundry seal. The Goldscheider Foundry pieces are the rarest editions of Valkyrie that were made. Later this became such a popular sculpture they were cast at other foundrys. The example we are offering is an original Goldscheider Foundry artist signed L. Chalon (Louis Chalon, French sculptor 1866-1940). The sculpture is in mint condition retaining almost all of its original 100 year old polychrome finish. This is the best condition example of this rare sculpture we have had the pleasure to see or offer for sale. She measures 23 inches to the top of her spear. From the back of her dress to the tip of the horses hoof she measures 17-1/4 inches. The base is 6-3/4 inches wide by 5 inches deep by 3-1/2 inches high. Weight 39 lbs. Please click on enlargements to see the details of the Goldscheider Foundry mark. A similar model sold at Christie's Sydney Australia on May 15, 2004 for almost $11,000.00 6 years ago. If you have always wanted to add an example of this sculpture to your collection this is a great opportunity for you. Whenever offered, this bronze sells immediately. This is a wonderful example guaranteed to please as are all our items. (Item #72783)
