Highly Rare Art Deco Bronze Box, General Bronze Corporation

Sculpted by Mihaly Biro, this bronze (dating from 1928-29) is the small version of a large-scale monument commissioned by the Bratislava Cable company, commemorating the workers who made the industry hum. (Originally, the figure would have been pushing a volt fuse.) The musculature of the figure's back and arms are beautifully detailed, and the piece is a paean to those who made 20th century industry...

This unique Art Deco sculpture -- carved, not molded -- depicts a highly-stylized goat figure with the ears of a satyr rearing up over a mound of Art Deco tendrils. The mythological feeling of the goat is reminiscent of the animals that romped to the strains of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony in "Fantasia," and the detail is very fine. This piece, though not signed, comes from an artist from the Cleveland...

PAUL 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.
