Dear Claudia,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, can you please have a look if there is perhaps a small signature on the base or under the base. A bronze in this size should be stamped or marked.
With kind regards,
Georg
Hello Georg,
I just received a request to purchase the sculpture. I would very much appreciate receiving an appraisal so I can complete the sale.
Dear Claudia,
Thank you for the additional images and details. Sadly regarding technical problems, the images and messages were not displayed. I apologize for the delay in the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a bronze statue with the measurements of 31.5 inches long and 15 inches height. The bronze depicts three flute playing girls and is signed "Matto sculp" which means "Matto sculptured this".Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases.
Artworks of this artist were recently offered and sold on the international and national auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 400 to 800 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
