This early 20th-century lead fountain, dating from around 1910 to 1930, beautifully combines classical revival motifs with Art Deco influences. The seated female figure has a serene expression and graceful pose, her bobbed hairstyle and flowing lines reflecting the sleek elegance of the Art Deco movement. The simplified, stylised form captures the period's fascination with modernity, while the draped fabric and classical pose link back to more traditional sculpture.

Art Deco's influence is evident in the figure's symmetry and streamlined design, celebrating both modern and classical beauty. Lead, a popular material for outdoor sculptures at the time, allowed for intricate detail and durability, making it ideal for garden settings. Over the years, the lead has developed a rich patina, adding to its historic charm.

Originally designed as a decorative water feature, the heavy sculpture would have been a focal point in a garden fountain, creating a peaceful atmosphere. A fine example of early 20th-century garden art, it combines craftsmanship with elegance, making it a perfect addition to any outdoor space, whether near water or as a standalone ornament.
