Austin Productions, which began in 1952, retired its entire line in 2009. As a result, one would think that has enhanced the collectible value of pieces like this.
"Enchained Action" titled beautiful mid-Century bust reproduction by Austin Productions of a work by the renowned late 19th century - early 20th century French sculptor and painter, Aristide Mailol. About 14" tall on a solid walnut wooden base 5" x 8". Ceramic with a faux bronze finish, circa 1950's.
The subject matter of a torso prohibits my display of photographs on the website. I believe that the original sculpture, which is much older and much larger than this reproduction, sits in the Chicago Museum of Art. See Austin Productions website. Thus, the item can be viewed at both places. If interested, I'd be glad to provide photographs. A truly lovely piece, and very collectible. Will accent any room from any spot.
