Description

A fine pair of bronze and ivory figures, The Falconer and the Casket Bearer by Gotthilf Jaeger, circa 1925.

This fine pair of early 20th-century bronze and ivory figures depicts a young man and woman, one as the falconer and the other as the gift bearer. They are both beautifully sculpted and cast with exceptional detail.

The bronze elements are finished in silver and cold painted in black. The heads of both figures and one hand on the falconer are exquisitely hand carved in ivory.

The figures are mounted onto bronze and turned marble circular plinths.

Both figures are signed by the artist and have the foundry mark R.U.M. for Rosenthal and Meader who worked producing these and similar fine pieces until 1929 when they were taken over by Preiss and Kassler.

This fine pair of Art Deco period silvered bronze and ivory figures are the work of a master sculptor and cast by a leading foundry. They are both in excellent condition.

Each figure measures approximately:
Height 27.5cm x width 13cm x depth 9cm

Gotthilf Jaeger was a sculptor in Berlin (1871 Cologne - 1933 Berlin).

The artist studied at the Academy in Karlsruhe Volz and Städel Institute Frankfurt / Main at home. Jaeger was also a teacher at the School of Applied Arts Pforzheim.
