Hi Anya, I live in the UK and I own the Sevres cat sculpture by Georges Gardet that you have the postcard of on one of your past blog pages. It is going to be sold !!!!! Regards R.
£218 Uk Pounds. The last one I saw in bronze the same size, on the internet was expected to fetch about $2000 American. I was giving it away. Really hoped you would get it. I have just lost both my cats through illness and hoped this would pay for a memorial. Ebay is very expensive.
It is here. It would have been so cool to have that cat. Oh well - it was not meant to be. I wonder where the original marble one is - now that would be something...
The end of the story. The Georges Gardet Sevres cat arrived in Japan broken, no doubt after mis-handling by the courier. I have asked for it to be sent back and will have it restored, it was a very expensive mistake for which I have paid dearly. It is going back on display at home.

ReplyDelete@anonymous - oh my goodness! Do you really??? when and where will it be sold? Can you update me?
ReplyDeleteHi Anya, It is going on E--- unless it can go directly to you, but I don't know how to talk to you one to one. R
ReplyDeleteDo you mean ebay? well - I rather doubt I could afford it, but I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks for letting me know. How big is it by the way?
ReplyDeleteYes it is ebay UK. Seven and a half inches high by ten inches wide and weighs. Approx 1.8 kg. R.
ReplyDeleteOh - it's not that big - hmm - I have a white kitty - it would be great to have that piece. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you didn't get the Gardet cat he is on his way to Japan.
ReplyDeleteWhat?? I had an alert out for when it might have gone on sale on ebay :( How much did it sell for?
