Striding big panther

Striding big panther

Art Deco panther is cast in white bronze.

The panther is a popular motif in art, symbolizing strength, elegance, and beauty. The sculpture is designed in the Art Deco style known for its geometric shapes and clean lines.

White bronze is an alloy of tin, copper, and lead, appreciated for its durability and beauty. It has a silvery shine and is often used for artwork and jewelry. In this case, it has been patinated in green.

This striding big panther is a timeless piece of art and that makes a stunning impact in any space. It suits both modern and classic interior styles and is an investment in a beautiful and long-lasting work of art.

“The Panther” by Rainer Maria Rilke In the Jardin des Plantes, Paris

His gaze has become tired from passing by the bars, so that nothing holds it anymore. It is as if there were a thousand bars, and behind a thousand bars, no world.

The soft, supple gait of powerful strides that circles in the tiniest of circles is like a dance of strength around a center, where a great will, dazed, stands.

Only sometimes does the curtain of the pupil silently rise. Then a picture enters, passes through the taut stillness of the limbs – and ceases to exist in the heart.

Rainer Maria Rilke –

This powerful striding big panther could have its place on this Art Déco Sideboard.
