French Bronze Young Girl Sculpture - HENRI ALPHONSE NELSON - Art Nouveau Bronze Art Object - Parisian Listed Artist
A beautiful, antique French bronze sculpture by Henri Alphonse Nelson of a sweet, long-haired girl. This young girl has a classic Art Nouveau look, and is a beautiful art object. Lovely details throughout and a very heavy piece. The bust is signed A. Nelson and also has the letter D stamped in the bottom. The only other one of its kind I've been able to find is of a gilded version on a marble plinth. I don't know where the marble went from this piece but isn't really necessary for display purposes. I can not guarantee that this is a genuine piece, but I have never seen copies of his work. This will have to be shipped via courier so it an be fully insured. I have not had this piece authenticated so it is being sold as 'attributed to' but way well be the real thing, I have no clue. More Art Deco Sculpture

Andrea, your store is a wonderful treasure trove and your knowledge and class are of a scholarly collector.
I am a university research professor with an eye for detail. I have never seen any vendor with your level of exquisite scholarship. Just like your fine objets d'art, your descriptions are crafted with masterful finesse; it is such a pleasure reading them and it is also a great learning experience. Thanks again! Patrick

Downsizing was inevitable and I've done it several times already. This is the big one, and I am still unboxing treasures retrieved from storage after decades.
All pieces are one of a kind handpicked by yours truly over 40 years to add texture, style and story to your authentic style.
My collecting story starts after watching Astaire and Rogers float across a dance floor as a young girl, I have loved art deco design, art, fashion and jewelry. So bold and beautiful, and so different from anything that came before it. Art deco changed social and design sensibilities forever. A lifetime collector of high quality antiques and vintage, I started by making contacts, researching and learning. Picking the best of the best, I live with art deco and vintage decor and used to wear the fashions of the day. To say that I feel in love is an understatement. I reveled in the fact that I was able to reflect my unique style and sensibilities with a marriage of old and new.
Since I was in my teens I have bought what pleases me, what I find beautiful and unique, and the things that speak to me on a creative level. I hope that you can see and feel the passion and love that I feel for antiques and vintage pieces and share with you.
