Ferdinand Parpan (1902-2004), an Art Deco patinated bronze and ivory figure ‘Notre Dame de Bon Secours’, c.1935, signed F. Parpan and titled Modelled, cast and carved as the Madonna holding the infant Jesus, standing on a half globe and mounted on a stepped marble base 29.5 cm high (ARR) Ivory: Hairline on the little finger of the hand supporting babies back. Some dirt in the crevices of the carving on the ivory. A few marks. Bronze: A few marks and abrasions, but surface colour overall in good and even condition. Marble: Some filled holes to the natural marble with some old/original repairs to fissures. Please note that this lot contains ivory. Ivory is an endangered material with very strict rules about export/import. If you plan to take this lot out of the UK please check with your shipper if you can before bidding. Some countries do not allow the importation or exportation of ivory. A Bill is due to become law in the UK in the near future that limits the buying and selling of ivory, but as this lot is pre-1947, and as we judge the ivory content as equal too or less than 10% of the whole, it will still be legal to sell it in the UK if the new rules go through as proposed. Please see National Press for updates.
