Butterfly Girl. [American: X-1, ca. 1927].
Five out of five for rarity.
(155 x 181 mm.), 10 pounds the pair. Golden bronze finish over pot metal; only some scattered finish loss, and a small crack running through the back of one wing, otherwise in beautiful condition.
The height of art deco Egyptian revival, these transitional pieces contain strong elements of the art nouveau lovely lady theme. Crafted by a maker referred to as X-1 (as his real name is unknown to collectors), with the characteristic 63 marking on the back, as well as the exquisite basket weave design. Very scarce, especially in such beautiful condition.
