Bronze panther with antique green patina

This type of statue, frequently represented in the 1930s, is often associated with the art deco style. That may be true, but honestly, there is no real justification for it. And here, the bronze is of a more recent patina even if it is an antique green... On the other hand, among felines, the panther (or leopard or even the jaguar) is a frequently represented subject given the graceful and elegant lines of the animal. This panther is certainly a collector's item, not only for its subject, but also for the material from which it is designed. It is certainly an object of the twentieth century. Its beautiful antique green color is a classic. If the house of cartier has made the panther its lucky muse since 1914, it seems difficult to use as a necklace or pendant! It can still be a good luck charm of good quality!.
