- An internet search on the sculptor 'G.Bedouin' provided no references to the artist. It is probable the name was a pseudonym for a well-known sculptor. It was common practice for accomplished artists to adopt a pseudonym when working on commissions used for commercial enterprises.
CONDITION: Good antique condition commensurate with use & age. Wear to patina in parts, mainly the rear. Various minor chips & nibbles to base and very old repair to one marble base. Hardly discernible when placed.
DIMENSIONS: 16.5cm High, 13cm Wide, 13cm Deep
