Sword in hand, this carved quartz boar captures Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof’s playful imagination and extraordinary skill with gemstone. The boar’s tusked face and upright stance give the sculpture a lively, almost heraldic character, while its metal sword adds a charming sense of theater.

Zadora uses the quartz’s natural smoky gray, pale yellow and milky tones to define the animal’s body, face and snout. Fine surface carving suggests the texture of coarse bristles, bringing depth and life to the figure. Set on a polished black marble base, the work balances humor, refinement and technical mastery.

The Canadian-born Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof is internationally acclaimed for his gemstone sculptures and jewelry. Celebrated for his inventive designs and precise carving, he is regarded as one of the most important decorative artists of the late 20th century.
