Nicky Imber statue "The Hope"

Dear Sharon,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a bronze statue with the measurements of 17 inches height. The patinated bronze depicts an mother holding her baby and was made by the artist Nicky IMBER (1920-1996). As a comparable I attach an link (https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/83704985_nicky-imber-austrian-1920-1996-bronze).
Works by this artist were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 300 to 600 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
