This figure is in overall excellent condition commensurate with age. Some tarnishing to the silvered finish in places and very minor surface abrasions.

Pierre Laurel was a French sculptor active in the early 20th century. His signature is found on many well modelled and finely defined bronze and ivory figures – commonly of dancers in movement. Pierre Laurel is thought to be one of the pseudonyms used by Pierre Le Faguays.
