Salambo Orientalist Female Bronze Sculpture Signed J. Garnier (1853-1910 French)

Salambo Orientalist Female Bronze Sculpture Signed J. Garnier (1853-1910 French). Beautiful antique female figure with her arms outstretched atop an integral octagonal base incised signature to base: J. Garnier, titled to applied plaque: Salambo. The bronze measures 21.5 inches tall to the top of her left thumb. Widest width from hand to hand 12.625 inches. Depth 5.6 inches. This sculpture of Salambo depicts the titular character from Gustave Flaubert's 1862 novel. This is a beautiful bronze with its original patina intact. Very lifelike and expertly sculptured. We found the same model bronze that sold at auction in 2011 at an Austrian auction house for $2,970.
