Outstanding French "Art Populaire" Life-Sized Peacock on Faux Bois Table

We are long-time fans of French Art Populaire animal statues made in the 1930s to 1950s but we have never seen a peacock, let alone one on a faux bois table! Sadly his neck was broken in transport but we have finally had him restored and our guy did an amazing and undetectable job! Made of hand-molded cement over an iron armature and painted in vibrant colors with multiple layers of crusty paint many years ago, his iron legs fit neatly into two holes atop the table. The table comes apart into two pieces (the unpainted round top and the brown painted tree-trunk base) and when assembled, the whole is completely solid and stable. Certainly, Mr. Peacock would lend a fabulous and whimsical note to your garden or conservatory, alone or grouped with some of our other Art Populaire birds.
