Animal bronze – Doe on wooden base – Hidden secret hiding place

Antique Bronze Animal Sculpture – Doe on Wooden Base – Secret Hiding Place – Cabinet of Curiosities – circa 1930/1950

Superb antique patinated bronze animal sculpture depicting an elegant doe mounted on a varnished wooden base.
It is believed to date from the 1930s to the 1950s, a period during which decorative animal art flourished.
But this work is not limited to its aesthetics: it conceals a secret hiding place ingeniously integrated into the animal's flank. Accessible via a screwed trapdoor (original parts), this discreet compartment can be used to store a small, precious or confidential object. A true piece from a cabinet of curiosities, decorative, rare, and intriguing.
