Menneville
Famous for their production of large good quality groups in spelter and ivorine, the signature of Menneville is found on extravagant pieces from the 1920s and 30's.
They usually depict women dressed as if going to the opera, with Borzoi dogs etc mounted either alone or on large clock sets.
These large pieces were made for the middle classes who wanted the look (but hadn't the pocket) for the large bronze and ivory groups
by Parisian based sculptors like Chiparus.
This is an unusual subject matter for Menneville, which I am inclined to
believe is the name of a foundry in that town and not an individual artist.
This sculpture certainly makes an "art deco" statement!
