NOTE: I do NOT sell antique pieces here at any time.

There are many photos I took in the 70's that were moved from this page to their respective building pages so that the rescued sculptures and the buildings they came from are together. As I do not have photos of every building sculptures came from, approx 50 sculptures will not have a corresponding building for them.

As a sculptor, I specialize in creating new authentic looking Victorian and Art Deco models in clay which, when molded enable casts for interior, garden and construction to be produced for sale.

The casts which are available to purchase are in my web store, I add new designs regularly with the details, prices and measurements to the SALES STORE

The Marianne bust is beyond doubt one of the most beautiful portraits I have seen.

This bronze medal was engraved by Oscar Roty (1846-1911). He studied painting as well as sculpture and was a pupil to Lecoq de Boisboudran, Dumont and Ponscarme. In 1872 Roty competed for the Prix de Rome for which he received a second prize award, from 1873 he exhibited at the Salon. Roty received the Grand Rrix de Rome in 1875 and spent three years in Italy before returning to Paris. In 1888 he was appointed professor and in 1897 President of the famous Academie des Beaux-Arts.
