Raymond Rivoire
“Femme Au Levrier” Art Deco Statue Bust by Raymond Leon Rivoire Sevres France

1937

About the Item

“Femme au Levrier” Art Deco statue bust by Raymond Leon Rivoire Sevres France circa 1937. This is a rare and important bust from the iconic Art Deco sculpture Raymond Rivoire. It was the First time I had seen this piece. It was manufactured by the famous Sevres company, stamped on the back, and signed R. Rivoire on the lower part of the bust. This piece fascinates me; we have sold the bronze statue a few times, and it is one of our favorites. He made a bronze for the Normandie liner representing Neptune pulled by a marine horse (disappeared in the ship's fire in New York in 1942), a second copy of which still adorns a fountain in Cannes. Another of his major works is Diana and the Greyhound, also known as Artemis. Like Normandy, a monumental copy of this statue was crowned in the living room of the ocean liner L’Atlantique. Scattered memories of the work that followed this fire were found during the demolition. Drawings can be found in several museums (Louvre Museum, Newark Museum (New Jersey, United States), and the Cusset Museum, which houses many of its productions. For the past 15 years, I've been a 1stDibs Furniture dealer with Platinum status. We've always sold fine art on this “furniture" platform and have recently started selling our Art Deco Fine Art here on 1stDibs in addition to our Furniture platform.

  • Lucien Charles E. Alliot French Art Deco Bronze The Gazelles 1930
    Located in Oakland, CA
    Lucien Alliot French Art Deco Bronze The Gazelles 1930. The brown patina on a marble base signed on the bronze L Alliot and stamped bronze on the deer. This particular piece has exceptional rhythm where the two gazelles interplay in a movement depicting leaping over the hills or water—very three-dimensional treatment showing the movement of the animals. Lucien Charles Eduoard Alliot (1877-1967), the sculptor, was born in 1877 in Paris, France. His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1924 Summer Olympics. He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français, was a member and the gold medal in 1920, out of competition, and was a member of the sculpture jury from 1934 to 1939. Alliot was well known for his figurative sculptures, which were exhibited for many years at the Salon de Paris. He received a third-place award in 1907 (which included funds for travel expenses) and a first-place award l in 1920. After he declared himself out of the artistic competition, he became a jury member at the Salon evaluating sculptural works from 1934 to 1939. Alliot created several allegorical groups: La Paix in 1939, and several religious illustrations: Sacré Cœur in 1924, La Vierge Marie...
