"Blackbird", Rare Art Deco Bronze Sculpture by Jean Luce, Dinanderie
About the Item
Elegant and sophisticated, this bronze blackbird -- inset with a second metal, probably silver -- was designed by Jean Luce, one of France's master designers in the Art Deco period. Mixed metal (or dinanderie) artisanry was revived by a number of sculptors in the 1920s, and in this case the secondary metal showcases the bird's feathers and the wood grain of the bird's perch below. Luce was a Juror for the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in 1925, and the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in 1937. In 1935, he designed porcelain and glass pieces for the ocean liner Normandie. The vase is signed and is marked "Made in France."

- Rare Art Deco Bronze Sculpture “Mischievous” by Paul PhilippeLocated in Shippensburg, PAPAUL PHILIPPE Polish/French, 1870-1930 "Mischievous" Polychromed gilt bronze over original marble base signed in cast "P. PHILIPPE" signed in cast "i9.R / France" with foundry seal of A.G. Paris Item # 212MPH15S An exquisite and rare example of Paul Philippe's Mischievous finished in a brilliant polychromed gilt, the young woman grabs her reddish-brown hair in hand while looking off into the corner with a sly look in her eyes that suggests she holds a secret that we will never know. The base signature is captured directly from the mold. Situated over its original faceted base. A very fine work. ARTIST Born in Thorn in Poland in 1870, Paul Philippe studied under Antonin Larroux at the École des Beaux-Arts after moving to Paris, France around 1900. He exhibited extensively at all of the major French salons and developed his own voice in sculpture by focusing his ouevre around the movement of the female body, often depicting exotic models in highly theatrical poses with a loose adherence to realism in his idealized visions. He walked a fine line between Art Nouveau and Art Deco while his figures do tend towards the latter. He executed figures in bronze and chryselephantine and worked with some of the best foundries in France and Germany. Many examples of his work are held in the Art Deco Museum in Moscow, Russia.
