This striking antique bronze features a dramatic high-relief scene from Shakespeare’s Othello, finely cast by Dietz Brother & Co, a known American foundry active in the early 20th century.
The expressive detail captures a moment of intense interaction between Othello and Desdemona, making this both a literary and decorative collector's piece.
The stepped base and rich aged patina add depth and character, with subtle green and brown tones that highlight the casting work. The reverse is clearly marked "DIETZ BROTHER & CO" in raised lettering.
Heavy, well-balanced, and cast in solid bronze, this piece functions as a practical bookend or a standalone sculpture. Ideal for lovers of Shakespeare, Art Deco interiors, or antique metalwork.
