Collectors Item - John Biccard 'The Red Baron'

 This beautiful crushed marble sculpture has been in my possession since the 80's. It is in good condition. It is truly a collectors item. 

Red Baron weighs approximately 200g and stands 8cm high. Red Baron has a wide muzzle and heavy lidded eyes. He is dressed in full flying attire with his flying cap with ear flaps and flying goggles which bear John Biccard’s initials. Two detailed old fighter planes which show a dog resembling Snoopy sitting inside have been carved on either side of Red Baron’s jacket. Carved out in the center on the back of his jacket is “The Red Baron.”

PRODUCTION OF THESE SCULPTURES CEASED IN 1999. JOHN BICCARD PASSED AWAY IN 2006, MAKING THESE SCULPTURES VERY COLLECTIBLE.

"These sculptures are becoming increasingly scarce and are highly prized and sought after. For the avid collector out there, John’s marble sculptures will last a lifetime and more, with only the minimal amount of care. These creations of beautiful intricacy would make a wonderful addition to any collection. Owning a Biccard sculpture is a statement in itself. He captures the similarity between man and animal with a sense of humor, yet an air of realism. Only a True Collector could understand and appreciate these unique handmade works of art with a whimsical touch. Due to the limited availability of these sculptures, they are deemed to have significant value and will only continue to rise in value."                     https://skolmen.wordpress.com/2015/03/07/the-biccard-collection/
