Bronze Sculpture of Police Dogs by Demetre Chiparus on Marble Base -Circa 1930 - 8"

This finely crafted bronze sculpture by renowned Art Deco artist Demetre Chiparus (1888-1947 or 1950), titled Chiens Policiers, captures the poise and loyalty of two German Shepherds, celebrated for their keen intelligence and steadfast nature. With its wonderful attention to detail and realistic portrayal, this piece embodies Chiparus’s skill in creating lifelike forms that convey strength and elegance. The dogs’ heads are raised, ears pricked, with a look of keenness and confidence that German Shepherd owners know so well. 

The title plaque affixed to the front of the sleek green marble base reads, "Chien Policier par D. H. Chiparus, Lauréat du Salon des Beaux Arts", marking this sculpture as a distinguished work by an award-winning artist. Known as a master of the Art Deco movement, Chiparus's work is highly prized by collectors and featured in prominent museums.

In this sculpture, one dog stands vigilant, while the other lies calmly beside it, creating a composition that exudes both loyalty and strength. Every detail—from the finely rendered fur to the muscular contours—is crafted to capture the noble presence of these police dogs. This realistic approach enhances the piece’s impact, allowing the innate character of the German Shepherds to shine through.
