mpressive large French Art Deco bronze pheasant sculpture, circa 1925–1935, featuring a finely modeled bird with an exceptionally long and elegant tail. The bronze displays detailed feather work and a beautifully aged green-brown patina that enhances the sculptural character of the piece.
The pheasant is mounted on a substantial geometric base crafted from richly variegated onyx and contrasting black marble, accented with decorative metal elements. The stone base is incised with the signature “Dalbret.”
